My toughest mission may be protecting my own heart...

I'm only in town for one reason: to settle my twin brother's estate.

I didn't come looking to score.

And definitely not with Layla Bailey, my cutthroat brother's ex.

But when she shows up at my door, my gut clenches.

She's just so beautiful. And she needs my help.

She thinks Devon was murdered...and she may be next.

I can't let anything happen to Layla or the baby she's carrying.

My brother's baby.

I promise to keep her safe...which is all I have to offer.

I've got no time for romance. My life is with the SEALs.

Once the danger passes, I'm gone.

Then...Layla kisses me.

Suddenly, I'm thinking crazy thoughts.

Like maybe sticking around wouldn't be so bad after all.

But only if we make it out of this alive...
