Pippa hid the truth to protect her child... and herself.
She may have left her abusive ex-husband, but she can never fully escape him. While he is safely behind bars, she indulges in one night of passion with a handsome stranger... and ends up pregnant.
Now, she lives in fear that there will be hell to pay if her ex finds out.
Tanner "Diesel" Taylor takes his responsibilities to his family and as a SEAL seriously. Yet he never saw himself getting married and settling down.
While the night he spent with Pippa was amazing, they left the masquerade party only knowing each other as a masked gladiator and a woodland fairy.
Now, two years later, he learns they share a son.
Unfortunately, Tanner's arrival on her doorstep to meet Bryce comes too late. Released from prison, her vicious ex abducts both mother and son. Armed with his vast training, Deisel will stop at nothing to get them back.
Pippa has no idea the SEAL is on his way. Trapped with her enraged ex, can Pippa keep herself and her child safe until help arrives?
