When Jessie Devlin receives the newspaper article that Rob Carlisle has been released from prison, no doubt sent by Carlisle himself, she vows she won't let him destroy the life she's struggled to rebuild. But memories of that spring night ten years ago keep flashing back, causing Jessie to cringe at the thought of a man's touch. Then Cole Harper walks in the door to rent the twin cottage she owns on the South Carolina coast. After his torture at the hands of a sadistic enemy and his medical discharge from the army, undercover operative Cole Harper's only mission now is unlike the dangerous assignment in the Middle East that almost cost him his life: find and kill the traitor who betrayed his team. Harper starts where he believes his target has taken refuge―the South Carolina coast. Harper has given up any hope of a normal sex life, until he meets Jessie and her lesbian lover, Darian. Can they succeed where military doctors failed? Can he protect Jessie from the revenge of her assailant while carrying out his own mission?Secrets, fears, and danger combine to bring two damaged people together-if only they can escape the forces pulling them apart.
