Lieutenant Justice Hayes and her Special Missions unit land in big trouble on their first real-world deployment. When bullets fly on her initial “noncombat” op, Special Operations Forces Command decides to protect their asset on future jobs by attaching her unit to SEAL Team Five’s Foxtrot squad. Bad news for Justice—Lieutenant Brayden Street is the officer in charge of Foxtrot, and he’s a man she’s trying to avoid. Too much time spent with Brayden will only immerse her in all the feelings she’s dodged for the past year.

Under his unrelenting love and care, Justice is finally able to see the truth about what happened between them at BUD/S—emotional wounds are really behind her fear of being with him. She’s trapped in the patterns of the past, and Brayden has the power to help her escape...but only if she can find the courage to let him into her heart.

But Brayden refuses to let Justice walk away without a fight.
