Former Navy SEAL Jed Tremayne knows discipline, hard work, and how to
carry a rifle. So when his two best friends die suddenly and leave their
daughter, Nala, in his care, Jed’s a little out of his element. Though
he wants desperately to connect with her, Nala has withdrawn further and
further into her books. Jed just needs a little help, and decides to
hire a nanny, and who better than someone who loves to read as much as
Nala does? Sure, Tess Frederick is a bit too intriguing, a little too
sexy in an adorably unconscious way, but she instantly connects with
Nala so Jeb gives her the job.
Tess likes things ordered. But lately, her well-planned life has descended into a bit of chaos. Haunted by the suicide death of her former lover, and recovering from her bookstore going out of business, an open position for a private tutor seems like the perfect job to take while she figures out the rest of her life. Nala is an adorable and intelligent little girl and the two have an instant connection. Her guardian, Jed, is another matter altogether. Too good-looking. Too intense. And too sexy by far. If Tess can just get through the next few weeks with her heart intact, all will be well. The thing with hearts, though, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to turn hers off.
But as Jed and Tess begin to fall for each other, an unknown danger threatens their burgeoning love, a danger that blindsides them both and threatens their very lives—and the life of the little girl they both love. Can two broken souls find the strength to conquer this dark menace or will they be lost in the fight to survive?
This novel contains sexual content, violence and profanity.

A good story all the way around. I really liked it. Romance, danger, mysteries and great characters. Speaking of characters, all of them had depth something that I really enjoy. Nala contributes quite a bit to the story. By the way, what a great name, Nala.
The danger level was held at a pretty good rate throughout. The "accidents'' came out just as you were reading about how Jed, Tess and Nala were starting to gel together. It caused plenty of action.
I liked how the author brought the emotions through when it came to both M.C.'s. Jed because of his upbringing was still reeling from feeling too unworthy when it comes to someone loving him. Tess is afraid to open her heart again to love. But she's finding it harder and harder to keep both Jed and Nala on the outside of her heart.
There is a few twists waiting for the reader as we got closer to the end. Did I like how it ended? That would be a solid yes.
I voluntarily read a copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
