Willow Beckett has spent the last three years surviving a nightmare of being held captive by a ruthless trafficker with power, money, and no intention of ever letting her go. Escaping had always been her plan. And when the opportunity arises, she flees with her two-year-old daughter and a target on her back. Desperate and hunted, she turns to another survivor she once helped escape. However, that choice leads her straight into the path of a Navy SEAL team, and into the orbit of the one man she never saw coming. U.S. Navy SEAL Jason “Jay Bird” Bird was married to his job. He didn’t do distractions and definitely not attachments. But the moment Willow and her child step into his world, something shifts. What starts as a promise to protect her and her daughter quickly becomes something far more dangerous, because Jay Bird isn’t just watching over them anymore, he’s claiming them. As the past hunts her down, Jay Bird and his team step into a high-stakes war against a dangerous enemy. And this time, it’s not just a mission—it’s personal. Because the quiet warrior who never wanted a family will stop at nothing to protect the woman and child who have become his everything.
