I've had my eye on Phoebe Powell for the last year. She's sexy, confident, and all-around feisty. Her walls are high, and she has an unbreakable lock on the steel gate around her beautiful heart, making it very clear there will be nothing between us, keeping us in the friend-zone. I admire her dedication and work ethic as one of San Francisco's best investigative reporters. Phoebe goes missing when she discovers deep dark secrets on her current assignment, putting her in the danger-zone. As a former Navy SEAL my instincts kick in and I will do everything I can to find Phoebe. When Phoebe finally reappears out of nowhere, I take her to the safest place to hide from the imminent danger closing in on her. But this man is powerful, and it may not be enough to keep her safe. While off the grid, our connection draws us closer. I must keep Phoebe at arm's length, it's non-negotiable. I can't lose focus of what's at stake. Her life.
