One leap of faith can change everything.
Cheyenne Elias has inherited a child. A boy she doesn't know and doesn't particularly want; a boy whose mother was once Cheyenne's most hated person in the world. There are a million reasons to walk away: her anger, her past, her certainty that there is nothing benevolent in this act by a woman who almost killed her. But abandoning the boy to a system she barely survived is not an option.
Will Blackheart has lost everything. His SEAL team, his country, and—upon occasion—his mind. Worse, he's lost something that has the capacity to kill thousands. Left for dead in the Afghan desert, Will has risen solely to recover that which was taken...and to punish those who dared take it.
His only lead is the son of a dead woman; her only goal is to save a child. As they come together in a clash of anger, mistrust, and potent, unwanted desire, Will and Cheyenne must put aside their differences and navigate the endgame of a woman for whom nothing was taboo…
"Hope Anika grabs you by the throat and does not let go until the last word is read. This book is a keeper."

The Bequest
Absolutely one of the best books I have read. The characters were so real and imperfect that I felt like I knew them. The plot kept me turning the pages and finally the writing was just amazing.

Thank you for this glorious book. A female main character full of rage. I know this.
If you don’t like profanity and you don’t like sex scenes then flip past it. Read for a glimpse of what other ppl live with.
The Bequest
Oh my gosh!! This book was fascinating and the hits just kept on coming. Rafe—what a special child who had endured so much the first 10 years of his life to still have such a wonderful spirit and soul. Cheyenne and Will were perfect together and a force to be reckoned with, each teaching one another to trust and believe they deserved something better. I enjoyed every page of this book and the perfect HEA at the end.
