She's everything he never knew he needed – but off limits in every way.

Being a Navy SEAL gives Neo "Ransom" Godfrey purpose and escape from his cold, elitist upbringing. But when he learns his estranged mother's dead, orphaning a medically fragile half-sibling he's never met, Ransom rushes home. He's committed to his brother, his team, and his career, but can he juggle everything? When he meets his brother's protective, blue-eyed nurse with an Irish lilt, his solution is simple—she should move into his Virginia Beach home where they can care for Jacob together—strictly business.

Brynn Yarrow has been Jacob's nurse for five years. She's unimpressed and on-guard, when six-foot-six of solid muscle and bright green eyes swaggers in full of promises. Brynn's slow to trust, and his proposal that she move halfway across the country sounds crazy, but impossible to refuse. She loves Jacob and could never abandon him, or hurt him, like her family did to her.

Ransom has never had anyone test his self-control like Brynn. She deserves his protection, but he longs to give her so much more.
