SHIELDING HIS FAMILY Defending an accused kidnapper could get attorney Josie Bishop killed—but facing the father of her child for the first time in seven years could destroy her heart. Yet when her ex-fiancé, former SEAL Edward "Blade" Harding, shows up at her door ready to offer his protection, she can't deny him. Nor can she deny him the chance to know their son. When shots are fired at Josie's home and a brick is thrown through her window on which a scrawled note says "Drop the case or pay the price," Blade is more determined than ever to protect his newfound family at all costs. But can he overcome his past mistakes in order to make sure they survive their present...and possibly have a future together? Navy SEAL Defenders: Bound by honor and dedicated to protection.
