From Booklist
Sax Douchett does not feel like a hero. The former SEAL served his country and survived when many did not. Now doing his duty seems easier than participating in a parade in his honor in Shelter Bay, Oregon. The former bad boy is home to stay, intent on rebuilding his parent๏ฟฝs Cajun restaurant, even though his homecoming is bittersweet as he is haunted by the ghosts of his former patrol. Sax is not the only one who has returned. Kara Conway is also back, taking over her father๏ฟฝs job as sheriff after he was killed. Kara hopes to provide a safe haven for her son, Trey, after losing his courageous father, and leaving behind her dangerous police work in California. As feelings between Kara and Sax heat up, so does the crime rate, unveiling long-ago secrets. Ross continues her homage to the brave men and women in the armed services in a romantic and sexy thriller spotlighting the difficulties that members of the military face when they return to civilian life. --Patty Engelmann
