Book excerpt: Bridget Needham knows first-hand how a Special Ops man can shatter a girl’s heart. She’s still kicking herself over the one that got away… after watching him get down on one knee and propose to someone else. After giving up her career to re-open her aunt’s struggling bed-and-breakfast inn, the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-sin SEAL showing up on her doorstep—especially when the secrets of her past still threaten to keep her from holding onto love. Besides, this guy might have a Greek god bod and an impressively large power drill, but he also has a girlfriend two thousand miles away. Former Navy SEAL Maddox Kerry hadn’t intentionally landed himself in Annapolis during Commissioning Week—the one week when it’s next-to-impossible to find a place to stay. So it’s mission-critical that he convince an adorably awkward innkeeper whose bed-and-breakfast is closed for renovations to let him stay. And hey, if he finds himself hoping for a little more than the customary turn-down service, who can blame him? Yet every time the chemistry sparks between them, she runs for cover. Any other guy would shrug his shoulders and move on. But he can’t walk away when he senses the pain behind her prim exterior. Because Maddox Kerry isn’t any other guy.

Are some mistakes destined to be repeated? I can’t help thinking it as I look at him now—feeling that surge of desire inside of me and that eerie connection that I can’t explain, just like I did ten years ago. The West Point graduate I foolishly hooked up with one night in New York City has transformed into a hardened warrior—an Army Ranger and twice the panty-melting heartthrob he was back then. My best friend, the bride-to-be at this wedding I’m attending in paradise, doesn’t believe it’s him. He’s too good of a guy, she says. Too good to be the man who gave me a fake name and fake phone number that Morning After—which I didn’t discover until I tried to track him down a few months later. But I know it’s him. How could I not? I’ve looked into his eyes every day since my daughter was born. Our daughter. And I won’t let this twist of fate that brought him back to me disrupt the life I share with her. I can’t—not when I know he’ll only shatter her hopes just like he did mine. I will protect my child at all costs. But who will protect me?
