Two lonely hearts. One Christmas miracle... Navy SEAL Preston Lawson is dead. At least on paper. When the Navy mistakenly reports him as KIA, it gives Preston the opportunity to join an elite BlackOps team. It's perfect for a man like him... No family, no commitments. No romance... On leave for the holidays, Preston heads to the last place he was truly happy... The resort where he met Lila, a stunningly beautiful woman who stole his heart, years ago. He's supposed to stay off the grid-and alone. But then he sees her. Lila. Along with a son he never knew existed... Lila wrote off Preston years ago. Of all the sneaky, underhanded things a man could do. Pretending to be dead, just to avoid her? Furious is putting it mildly. But when she bumps into Preston at the very same resort where they met, she calms down long enough for him to explain. And she can't deny the sizzling chemistry they both still share. When things take a dangerous turn, Lila's grateful to have a sexy Navy SEAL in her corner. And maybe in her bed as well...
