Em Delaney has carried a torch for Macey March since childhood. The rugged Navy SEAL serves under her godfather's command, making him strictly forbidden territory. Macey maintains his distance, knowing that pursuing his commander's goddaughter would cross every professional line. When criminals attempt to kidnap Em, the attack shatters the careful boundaries they've maintained. Forced into hiding together, Em and Macey find themselves in dangerously close quarters. The protective detail becomes a test of willpower as suppressed attraction ignites between them. Em refuses to back down from what she's always wanted, while Macey struggles between duty and desire. Their enforced proximity strips away years of restraint, but the threat against Em's life grows more serious. Military protocol demands Macey keep his distance, yet protecting Em means staying close enough to fuel the fire between them.
