On secret military missions Harlan Jeffries had defied danger; he'd be damned if minding an adorable child and the boy's stubborn and all-too-sexy aunt would be his downfall. But when little Adam's mother went missing, Harlan had no choice but to take them both under his own personal protection.

Gina Rodgers knew nothing about mothering or staying alive but she knew a man with secrets when she saw one. Why then was she drawn to the macho, larger-than-life Harlan? Even as danger bred desire, Gina wondered what he knew about her sister's disappearance. But with the web of murder and conspiracy tightening around them, Harlan was all that stood between them and a killer.
