Evie Baker lost everything that mattered. Her restaurant, her money, her self-respect. When she comes home to tiny Rochambeau, Louisiana, she's looking for a fresh start. What she isn't looking for is the tall, sexy, badass Cajun who stomped on her heart and left it for dead.

Special ops soldier Matt Girard isn't home for long. He's been ordered to stand down after a mission gone wrong. Above all, he's supposed to stay out of trouble. Easy enough to do for a few days.

Until Evie rolls into town with danger on her heels.

Evie's not a warrior. But Matt is. And he'll do whatever it takes to protect her, even if it costs him everything he's ever worked for. Because sometimes you don't realize what you had until it's gone. Or what matters most until you get a second chance...
