But from the moment he meets his lovely assistant, Mary Cummings, his life is forever changed. Something or someone dearly departed compels him to protect Mary and her adorable toddler twins, Dani and Randy, at all costs.

When named partner, Howard Fox at Fox, Goodwin, and Kane, Attorneys at Law, is mysteriously murdered and a shooter takes aim at Mary, Declan springs into action to save the pretty woman who has captured his heart, revealing he's more than just an attorney.

With his cousin, Gavin Mahoney, he races against time to reveal the culprit trying to kill his new love and extended family before a terrorist attack in Cairo kills hundreds of children.
