Second chances aren't for guys like him... right?



Not a day has gone by that Navy SEAL Cole Williams hasn't thought about Kelsey Reeves—5'5" of sass, curves and momma-bear determination. But as daughter of his CO, she's completely off limits, no matter how much he wants to claim her as his.

He swore he'd never put her in harm's way by falling for her. But when it becomes clear that she and her son are in danger, he charges back into their lives. He'll protect them at any cost. . . she's the mother of his child, after all.

Cole may be the most stubborn and downright grumpy man Kelsey has ever met, but there's no denying she feels safer now that he's here. He's a born protector, with his towering height and razor-sharp instincts.

Kelsey is being targeted and with loved ones disappearing, she needs help. She knows gruff, battle hardened Cole won't allow them to be hurt... but the longer he stays with them, forced together in the home that should've been theirs, the more she fears for her patched-together heart.

Can Cole keep them both alive long enough to repair the heart he crushed?
