A wounded SEAL will risk everything to protect the woman he can't forget and the child he never knew he had. Franklin Harris was born to protect, but retiring from the Navy SEALs left him adrift-until a car crash thrusts him back into action. Only this isn't any accident, and it isn't a stranger he's pulling from the wreck. Behind the wheel is Samantha Engel, the one woman he's never forgotten. And the baby in her arms? It's his. One year ago, Franklin risked everything to protect Sam as she escaped her ruthless mob-boss father into witness protection. Now she's on the run again, pursued by killers determined to silence her forever. Seeing Sam awakens desires Franklin buried deep, but more than passion, he's driven by an unbreakable vow: keep them safe. Sam's heart nearly stopped when she saw Franklin's face through the shattered windshield. She'd dreamed of this moment countless times, longing for his strength and safety. Now, caught between danger and desire, she must trust Franklin to protect the daughter he never knew existed-and her heart, which still belongs entirely to him. Survival won't be enough. To keep his family alive, Franklin must reclaim the warrior inside-or lose the woman and child who have become his world.
