A chance meeting creates a memory he can never forget.

Ernst "Ghost" Zimmerman had not been willing to settle down right up until he met sexy electrician, Kacy Travis, and convinced her to go on a date with him. He wants so much more with her but the haunted shadows in her eyes awakened the deadly protector within.

She wanted to believe in him. Her past, however, won't let her go.

Kacy enjoyed Ernst, probably more than she should. Friendship was as much as she wanted from a man anymore. She'd been hurt before and this man had been trained to fight. Did she dare open herself up to him?

Despite the jealousy and misunderstandings, Ernst holds out hope she will trust him with her heart. When danger rears, this SEAL will do whatever is necessary to protect her.
