The media portrayed the military operation as a
complete success, but Navy SEAL Jay Wellman
wouldn't describe it that way. He was there. As
he tries to come to terms with his role that fateful
night, he notices something different about his
teammates and wonders if there may be more to
their beliefs than he first thought.
When she heard the gunshots, Carina Channing
knew the past had caught up with her. She may
have changed her last name, but she can't change
who her father is. Carina understands the evil
that lurks in "The Family," and she is determined
to steer clear of that life and any other emotional
connections.
When they meet, it seems Jay and Carina have
only two things in common—mutual attraction
and the fact that they are both struggling to overcome
devastating trauma. But when a member
of The Family arrives and upsets the delicate balance
in Carina's life, Jay chisels away at the barrier
Carina has erected around her heart and offers
himself as her protector and friend. But can
Jay's Navy SEAL skills, military connections, and
loyal Saint Squad friends keep Carina and her sisters
safe? And with their different beliefs, can Jay
and Carina's friendship grow into anything more?
