Sometimes second chances come in small packages and unknown places.
When a car almost runs over him in the middle of a snowstorm, ex-Navy SEAL Micah Richards knows he's hit rock bottom. After the deaths of several of his teammates, Micah is sure of two things: he only hurts those he tries to protect and their deaths are his fault. He has one family left on his list to pay his respects but stranded on the side of a mountain in the middle of the night, Micah has run low on options until Casey Stewart comes careening into his life.
The last thing Casey wants is a man, especially one as charming and handsome as Micah who reminds her of her heartache from high school. And especially not when she has so much on her plate: kids trapped in the middle of bad neighborhood cycles at home and a sister who needs out from under their mother's roof. But helping is in her nature, and something about Micah makes her want to let him in.
Now in the same city, Micah and Casey just can't seem to stay away from one another, despite Casey's best efforts. The more, he gets to know the community, the more he wants to stay. When a local drug dealer goes awry, Casey has only one person to turn toβthe one who could hurt her heart the most. Micah must face the demons of his past to fight for his new team and new dreamβa woman with the heart of a warrior who fights for others. A woman he would die for.
