Marshall founded Last Hope to save others, not himself. The former SEAL commander runs his Michigan volunteer rescue operation with military precision. His injured leg reminds him daily of his past, but his work gives him purpose. He avoids relationships and emotional complications. Marshall prefers his solitary life. Then Emma becomes a hostage. Marshall hasn't seen her in fourteen years. Their brief connection from long ago shouldn't matter now. But Marshall can't lie to himself about what she means to him. Emma always made him wish he could be different. She made him want to be the kind of man who could handle love. Now Marshall faces his most personal mission. He must rescue the one woman who could change everything. The operation will test more than his tactical skills. It will force him to confront the emotional walls he built around his heart.
