When a dangerous crime syndicate threatens my estranged wife, it brings out the Army Ranger in me and a promise I made long ago... to bring maximum pain to anyone who touches my woman.

Izzie used to be the center of my world. The honey-haired, deliciously curvy art conservator captured my heart while I guarded her as a private military contractor in Afghanistan. She was the rock that grounded me through the chaos, the reason behind every sacrifice, worth every ounce of pain.

But years of hurt and unresolved emotions have culminated in the unsigned divorce papers in front of me. She says she's moved on. But how's that possible when so much passion and yearning still surge between us?

When my security company wins a contract at the museum she directs, Izzie's madder than hell. But I can tell by the way she looks at me more than pain and anger brew beneath the surface. I'll do anything to keep her safe when she stumbles into a criminal enterprise that could take her from me forever. But is it too late to reclaim her as mine?

If you like a possessive, alpha cowboy mountain man MMC and a nerdy, curvy, independent FMC, you'll love this small-town, second-chance romantic suspense thriller.
