Para-rescueman Master Sergeant Hugh Franco is all about
saving the lives of others in dangerous situations. Then
Hugh moves on to the next risk without any emotional
connections. The death of his wife and child has left a void
deep in his cold and lonely heart, that is until Hugh pulls
the strong and brave Amelia Bailey and her adopted nephew
from the rubble of a deadly earthquake in the Bahamas
igniting a spark Hugh doesn't need or want. For the first
times in years Hugh has a uncontrollable need to connect to
someone or something other than his black heart. Before he
can name the emotions rolling through him coming to the
surface Amelia and her nephew become part of a dangerous
game threatening the future Hugh is only beginning to
embrace.
Amelia Bailey is thankful that the brave Hugh Franco is
willing to attempt to save her from the dark and scary place
under tons of concrete and rubble caused by a brutal
earthquake in the Bahamas where Amelia was to be on a semi-
working vacation to help her brother with the adoption of a
child. Surviving the nightmare of an earthquake only
confirms the love Amelia feels for her new nephew and she
vows to protect him with her life no matter the cost.
Amelia's devotion to her nephew and the new budding feeling
for a certain Para-rescueman are put to the test and the
attraction for the brave white knight in shining armor
becomes more and more difficult to ignore.
