When you live on both sides of the law there's no room for attachment.
Wade Denison knew the rules when he joined Team Rogue. Knew what it would cost him.
It was a price he was willing to pay.
But then he met Bess Hines in a bar. One perfect night with her had him second-guessing everything. His choices. His life.
Himself.
Because no matter how perfect she felt in his arms, Wade had to let her go, taking nothing but the sweet memory of her body under his.
It was the only way to keep her safe from the danger following him closer than a shadow.
Only Bess wasn't safe.
When Team Rogue is hired to protect Bess from a danger all her own, Wade has a chance to protect the woman he never should have left.
A woman who can give him everything he never knew he wanted.

Bess Hines is hiding.
Tucked away in the mountains of Alaska, hoping for a miracle.
An answer to her prayers.
Wade Denison is neither of those.
Two years ago he showed her a tiny taste of heaven then left without so much as a goodbye.
Seeing him again is the worst kind of torture.
Being put under his protection is worse.
Especially since Wade might be just as big of a threat as the one he's been hired to protect her from.
Because he may have walked away from their night together with nothing but a memory, but Bess left with something more.
Something she will guard with her life.
