After a brutal attack leaves Mia Jones with a traumatic brain injury, she learns the key to discovering her attacker’s identity lies within her damaged brain. As she battles to recover from her injuries, she finds it’s not her fiancé by her side but her foster brother, Hank.
When navy pilot, Hank Taggart ditches his plane in the sea, he thinks the worst has happened—until he returns home to learn Mia, the closest thing he’s ever had to family, is in ICU. While struggling to accept the end of a career that defines him and battling his own medical diagnosis, he must also suppress his newfound feelings for Mia.
With Hank rejecting her love at every turn and the bad guys upping the stakes, Mia wonders which fate is worse: falling into the hands of her enemy or losing the man she loves.
Excerpt
“When are you getting out of rehab?”Mia wrinkled up her nose. “Hate. That. Word. Rehab. Sound. Like. Detox.” She fiddled with her hospital bracelet. “Discharge. A couple weeks.”
Don’t go. It could be hours before Tripp and his family visited. The thoughts of returning to an empty room made Mia consider begging Hank to stay. More than easing her loneliness, his presence centered her. She couldn’t get enough of his reluctant smiles or quick wit. Even before the attack, his infrequent visits outshone Christmas and her birthday.
Mia’s laughter carried across the open space, piercing his chest with an emotion too elusive and all encompassing to identify. The only thing that would please Hank more than having her direct that laugh toward him was for him to stop wanting it. As the echo of her happiness faded, it left him with a reality too certain and too awful to be anything but the truth. It was time for him to let her go. They’d clung to each other in their makeshift family, but now she’d found the real thing. And he was ballast—a reminder of their awful past she didn’t need.
Mia woke as Hank lifted her from the sofa. “I can walk,” she muttered, more asleep than awake. “I know you can, angel.” Humor colored the deep timbre of his voice. Mia nestled into his embrace, letting him carry her to bed. She’d pick something less enjoyable to assert her independence over. “Sleep tight.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Once his unconscious mind had control of the yolk, all G-rated plans were quickly shoved in the corner for Hank’s better half to ponder later. For now, his less heroic side had control.
