Some covert missions take place deep inside a guy... Stoic ex-Marine Taylor Armstrong survived his arrogant father and one too many deployments. Battered and disillusioned, he's built a wall to keep the world at bay. His rule is simple: a man can't lose a friend he's never made. It works-until an arrow rips into his chest and changes everything he thought he knew about his father. His mother. Himself. She never gave up... Gracie Fox has loved Taylor since the day he was stolen from her life as a four-year old. He has no memory of her or the loving family that was forced to give him up. It seems he'll never know-until the ancient rite of revenge, the blood hunt, collides with his carefully structured life and drops him into her path again. She seizes the opportunity, determined to help him remember... Even if she has to tie him to her bed.
