Special Operator T.J. Talbot had watched from afar as his
best friend married the love of his life. Raised in and
out
of the foster care system and nearly ruining his chance
to
become a SEAL, he figured his Happily Ever After would
never
be. But Dr. Death plays a heartbreaking trick on him and
he
winds up being the man’s father confessor, where he makes
a
promise to the dying SEAL to look after his friend’s wife
and baby.
Back in the states, Shannon Moore is grateful for the
baby
she is carrying, though she is a constant reminder of the
man who no longer lives at her side. She is not ready for
the attention from the community she receives, especially
from T.J. She’s decided to honor her fallen husband by
giving her whole life to the child he left behind.
Recovering from his wounds, Talbot is plagued by the
depth
of the wounds he still carries inside him, as he tries to
perform a mission he wishes he was not given. Rebuffed at
every turn, he struggles but understands his promise
might
not be able to be fulfilled. He does not want to take
what
was never given to him in the first place.
But what starts out as an improbable love story begins to
bloom and grow. When Shannon and the child are
endangered,
he will not quit fighting for the family he now knows he
was
meant to love forever.
