The last time she saw him was at his funeral …

Until he turned up on her living-room floor with injuries he couldn't remember sustaining and no memory of where he'd been for the past few months.

Unfortunately danger has followed him right to Sara's doorstep and outrunning the enemy isn't easy when Romo can't remember who to trust. Now, protecting Sara is all that matters, even if she claims not to need help from the man who broke her heart. But as his assigned mission wars with vivid memories of their entwined bodies, Romo knows a successful outcome could make a future together possible. However, the secrets he is keeping could make forgiving his actions all the more difficult.

Kinley wanted only to see her son; instead she'd led the killers on her heels straight to Gus. Killers who wouldn't hesitate to use him as the ultimate pawn. Kinley got to Jordan's heart, and after a lifetime of loss, he vowed to sacrifice everything to protect his surrogate son and the woman who'd ensnared him. Everything. Even his life.
