Gabriella “Gabby” Allen, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard’s elite MSRT team, never expected her life to change at a party, but that’s exactly what happened when U.S. Navy SEAL Tanner “Playboy” Owens swept her off her feet—quite literally—before she tumbled and landed flat on her backside. The instant attraction between them was undeniable, but it took nine months of smirks, shared glances, and a growing friendship for them to finally admit their feelings. Just as their relationship begins to deepen, tragedy strikes during a joint operation, leaving Gabby critically injured and her future uncertain.
Determined not to let her injury define her, Gabby pushes through an agonizing recovery, proving her strength every step of the way. And through it all, Playboy is right by her side, his unwavering support and constant encouragement keeping her spirits high. But as they focus on healing and rebuilding their lives, an unseen threat looms. The person responsible for Gabby’s near-fatal injury is seeking revenge—and they won’t stop until she’s silenced for good.
Dive into a world of explosive romance and suspense, where love and danger collide and where survival means more than just fighting for your life—it means fighting for each other.

Between her day job, her two boys and writing, she doesn’t have a heap of spare time, but if she does you’ll find her somewhere in the outdoors. Jaime is also an avid sports fan.
Gabby was such a strong character, and I loved that she was surrounded by a team full of men who only wanted to support her. She intrigued Playboy from the very first moment and maybe even intimidated him a little but once they finally found their way to each, they were very sweet together. Tragedy struck but Gabby fought through it with Playboy and both of their teams supporting her and they came out stronger. Danger found her but damsel in distress she was not! Playboy and the others came for her, but she took on the fight herself as well. Lots of action, steamy and otherwise! Beautiful family, both biological and found, to support and love each other. Humor (Nails, Amira, Luna!) and mystery. Absolutely worth the wait!
You can’t go wrong with a Jaime Lewis book. The way she crafts the story, weaving romance and suspense together perfectly, and writing characters who you feel like you know and want to hang out with, is just superb.
