The girl he left behind is now the woman he'd die to protect.

​Former Navy SEAL Danny “Chaos” Mayhew has faced terrorists, cartels, and killers without flinching.

His current assignment? Protecting the daughter of a powerful U.S. senator.

The problem? Isabella Strickland isn’t just another client.

She’s his Bella. His sister’s best friend. The girl who stole his heart—and the one he walked away from after a life-changing night of grief and passion.

For Danny, this mission just became personal.

​

The boy who broke her heart is back.

​After surviving a childhood abduction, Isabella has spent years rebuilding her life.

For her, safety comes from control. Plans. Predictability.

Danny is none of those things.

The former SEAL comes crashing back into her world with his crooked grin, too much confidence, and a dangerous habit of making her forget why she should keep her distance.

But someone is watching her.

Someone is waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

As anonymous threats escalate and a hidden enemy turns her carefully ordered life upside down, keeping her distance from Danny becomes impossible.

And the closer they get, the more dangerous everything becomes.

This time, the stakes are higher than a broken heart.

Because walking away isn’t an option.​​​
