Former Navy SEAL Nixon Swagger has come home. After twelve years of service, he's craving the solace his family's land offers and some time to recharge before moving on. He didn't plan on a feisty neighbor turning his head and commanding his attention—a headstrong woman who makes his pulse race and sets his body on fire.
The last thing McKenna Wilson wants is to be distracted by a sexy war hero who's just passing through. Her once picture-perfect life ended with the untimely deaths of her parents. Now the strong willed, self-sufficient woman is learning to parent her two teenage siblings. The struggle is relentless but Nixon Swagger cannot be ignored. He's pushed his way past all her defenses and quickly reminds the trio of the real meaning of family.
As Nix and McKenna collide in a battle of wills and passion, his past comes back to haunt him. An enemy with a decade old grudge will stop at nothing until Nix's life crumbles. When McKenna's life is on the line, can Nix and his team get to her in time? Or will the woman he has fallen in love with become collateral damage?
