I was trained to survive anything. As a Navy SEAL, I thrived in chaos and walked through fire. That discipline made me dangerous. It made me rich. But it didn’t prepare me for her.
Sophia Harrington – my best friend’s daughter – is off limits. The girl I wasn’t supposed to notice.
Her father once saved my life. Now he’s caught in a mafia war, and they’re using his family as leverage. That makes Sophia a target. A pawn. A threat they think I’ll ignore.
I was only supposed to protect her—get in, get out, and keep my hands to myself. But from the moment I pulled her into my arms, I knew I’d crossed a line I could never come back from.
She’s not just under my protection. She’s under my skin. And if they come for her, they’ll learn just how far I’m willing to go.
