A Navy SEAL is fearless, focused, and resolute when it comes to his mission. But what if the mission is something he never trained for?
Navy SEAL Eric "Thor" Thorsten welcomes his sister and her best friend out to California for a vacation. He's never forgotten the one kiss he shared with his sister's friend ten years ago, but he has no intention of digging up the past. He's far from perfect, but there are lines he won't cross. Having a fling with his sister's best friend is one of them.
Have you ever been in love-lust-craving for a person who doesn't know you exist?
Well, Isabella Paxton, aka Izzy, knows the feeling. She has been in love-lust-craving for her best friend's older brother since the day she met him. She's sure Eric Thorsten knows she exists, but only as his sister's friend. How can she make him see her as the adult woman she is?
Eric's past unexpectedly lands on his doorstep in the form of a four-month-old daughter. The daughter's mother has died, and either he takes her or she will go into the foster system. Izzy Paxton steps forward to help. Eric and Izzy form a marriage of convenience until Eric gains full custody of his daughter. But both of them are keeping secrets...from each other and their families. The problem is the more time they spend together, the more the line blurs between gratitude and love.
