Matt Holmes was born to be a Navy SEAL. But after barely surviving his last mission and losing peripheral vision in his right eye, he was honorably discharged. Alongside his loyal, retired military K-9, Tucker, Matt has tried to build a new life rooted in service and protection, honoring the brothers he lost. Haunted by survivor’s guilt, he joined Wright Brothers Investigations, channeling his elite training into something that could help him heal. Life had seemingly settled into a rhythm—until the day a fiery redhead, Chloe Henderson, tried to steal his truck, claiming she had to save her kidnapped sister.
What started as a chaotic encounter quickly turned deadly, and Matt’s instincts kicked in, vowing to protect her. As danger closes in, their journey uncovers a dark secret buried deep within Chloe’s family, threatening to destroy everything she knows and holds dear.
With enemies pursuing them, and the stakes continuing to rise, Matt must face the one battle he’s never been able to win: letting go of the past and risking his heart on a future he never thought he was worthy of having. Bound by duty. Broken by loss. Brought together by fate. Leaning on each other is the only way they will survive.
