Wyatt Oaks did not see Jesse Burke die, but he endured the same devastating skirmish, and it deep-sixed his SEAL career. He only remembered the soldier because he'd spoken to him for a few hours weeks before, one drunken night on leave. That connection barely made them acquaintances, and certainly not friends. So why does he feel such an obligation to the wife and small son the Army captain left behind? Wyatt heard about them exactly once. He should be able to forget them. What's more, the fact that his new employer, Black Watch Security, is in the midst of taking down a corrupt senator with a vendetta against his team, means Wyatt needs to forget them. He isn't the forgetting type, however. And once he discovers that Burke's widow knows more than anyone could guess about that infamous ambush and what the dirty senator wrought there-he realizes he just might have to become more than another brother-in-arms Leah and her son don't need. He might need to be their guard, their shield, their safe harbor...
Wyatt might have to become their everything.
