Twelve years ago, Ben Michaelson lost the only woman he ever loved. He never expected to see Kat Maier again—especially not standing in his office asking for help.
After spending years hidden in the Witness Protection Program, Kat has finally emerged from the shadows. But the dangerous men responsible for destroying her family are still searching for her, and the only person she trusts to keep her safe is the high school sweetheart she left behind.
Now a private security specialist with military training, Ben agrees to protect Kat as threats close in around her. Forced into close quarters, old feelings quickly resurface, reminding them both that some connections never truly fade.
But as the danger escalates and lives hang in the balance, Ben realizes he's fighting for more than Kat's safety.
He's fighting for a second chance at the future they were supposed to have.
Because losing her once nearly destroyed him.
He won't survive losing her again.
