Nico Ramirez has been searching for his teammate's younger sister, Ava Rampart, for months. When he finally finds her, he's stunned to discover she's eight months pregnant. Her baby raises the stakes, and Nico knows he must protect them both from Simon, the man ruthlessly hunting Ava. When he realizes Simon has kidnapped Ava from the hospital, he needs the entire SEAL team to get her back. Ava is hiding a terrible secret, one that has kept her running from Simon and from the police. She's grateful for Nico's determination to keep her safe, but when she suffers pregnancy complications, there is more than Simon to worry about. If she's not careful, her baby could be born prematurely and may not survive. Resting while on the run proves impossible. Ava places her faith in God and in Nico. She doesn't doubt Nico's ability to protect her, but she may have underestimated the threat he poses to her heart.
