Mike Keillor has built his life around two things: protecting people and feeling nothing. As a former Marine and SWAT officer turned security expert, he's kept his world clean and controlled-except for the nameless women he takes home and forgets by morning. Then a fragile, golden-eyed woman walks into his office and something in him goes very still. Mike knows, deep down, that Chloe Mason isn't the kind of woman you walk away from in the morning.Chloe Mason spent her childhood in hospitals and her adolescence learning to disappear. She arrived in San Diego with a manila envelope and a secret hope-and found, against all odds, the family she never had. What she didn't expect was Mike: immovable, infuriating, always there, never quite hers. But when Russian operatives target her, Mike steps between her and danger without a second's hesitation, and Chloe finally understands what she means to him.
