The mission nearly killed him.

Coming home might finish the job.

 

Paxton Rojas went out on a simple mission and came back broken. Two weeks off his feet in his childhood bedroom was not part of the plan, but a trip to his hometown hardware store lands him face-to-face with his old pal, Briana Leeland. The girl has grown into a woman and he can no longer ignore the intense attraction that has always flared between them.

​

Bree didn’t expect to see Pax in her dad’s store, barely able to stand on his injured leg. Even after all the years, she still feels drawn to him. They are no longer children and she doesn’t know if she can resist his rugged charm, or revealing how much his mere presence affects her equilibrium.

 

But something followed him home from that last mission. The people who nearly killed him haven’t stopped looking for him. Falling for Bree while a threat circles closer than either of them knows may be the most dangerous thing he’s ever done — and Pax Rojas has done some very dangerous things in his life as a Navy SEAL turned mercenary.

​

Perfect for readers who love slow-burn paranormal romance, second-chance love stories with gruff alpha heroes, resilient human heroines who hold their ground, and small-town shifter settings with danger woven through.
