In a twisted turn of fate, young widow Jessa McConnell seeks comfort in the arms of HERO Force commander Jax Anderson, the man she holds responsible for the death of her husband and unborn child. Now she's carrying Jax's baby and desperate to escape his influence, unable to forgive him and open her heart to the man who took away everyone she loved years earlier. Navy SEAL Jax Andersson always liked his friend's wife a little too much, but the one night of passion they shared is proof positive they were meant to be together. He doesn't want to let her go, and when he fears for her safety, he has no choice but to follow her trail to protect the woman he loves-whether she wants his protection or not. Together they'll fight against a hidden enemy determined to take her life. But when Jax learns of Jessa's deception, will he ever forgive her for trying to take his child away?
