Former best friends put their differences aside to rescue a childโbut the baby isnโt the only thing that needs saving.
A preventable training accident that forced him out of the SEALs has left Gunner Vance bitter and angry. But all that changes when his childhood friend and onetime lover asks for his help.
When a gunfight lands a baby on lonely teacher Chasten Reedโs front porch, he knows Gunner is their best chance for survivalโassuming they donโt end up killing each other while on the run.
Chas and Gunner have a simple mission: identify the baby and get her safely back to her real family. But with jeopardy around every corner of the desperate cross-country journey from New England to Hawaii, simple doesnโt mean easy. The attraction between them might be bulletproof, but their bodies are not. Will Chas and Gunner find what theyโve been craving? Or will the past, and the danger, push them over the top before they can fall in love?
