A second chance military protector romance featuring a hero left at the altar and a heroine with dark secrets from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.

Tell Dex I'm sorry. I'm not the right woman for him. He deserves more.

When Dex Davidson was abandoned at the altar by the woman he loved, he threw himself into his military career. Five years later, Annabelle Quinn desperately needs his black ops skills. Much as he wants to refuse, he can't turn his back on anyone in danger.

Blackmailed into jilting Dex and forced into an abusive marriage, Annabelle never thought she'd escape the hell of the last few years. But her husband died a month ago and she's finally free.

Except she isn't. If she doesn't return the fortune her husband stole, she'll be dead - and so will her young daughter.

As a ruthless enemy closes in, Dex will fight to keep the young widow safe. When it's over, he plans to forget her. What they had is broken, and they'll never get it back.

Until he discovers the truth she's been hiding all these years. Then nothing can stop him from claiming what's always been his.
