Former SEAL Daniel Dunn always relied on his instincts. They never led him wrong, until he was deceived by two people he trusted with his life. Now, Dunn doubts himself at every turn. As the leader, he needs to be in control, but he’s a mess. He wants revenge, and answers, but all he gets is a woman he never thought he’d see again begging for his help.

Ashleigh Edwards never forgot her first love. Once upon a time, she thought Daniel would be hers forever, but he had other plans. Plans that didn’t include her. She moved on and built a life without Daniel, but when she discovers her husband’s secrets, the only person who can keep her safe is the one man who chose his duty over her the last time they saw each other.

Dunn can’t turn Ashleigh away, but he can’t trust her either. When someone else from his past returns, he doesn’t know how to keep Ashleigh safe and take down the man who betrayed him.

About the author

Mary E. Thompson

96 books363 followers
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.

Daniel Dunn, once a confident and capable Navy SEAL, is now a haunted leader unraveling after a devastating betrayal by those he once trusted. Just as he's chasing revenge and clarity, Ashleigh—his long-lost first love—returns, desperate for protection after uncovering dangerous truths about her husband. Their reunion is laced with unresolved feelings and mistrust, and with threats closing in from both of their pasts, Daniel must decide whether to guard his heart or risk it all to save her.

This was a story laced with raw tension, fractured trust, and the ache of second chances. There were two stories woven around each other which worked up to a dramatic finale. A lot of feelings and emotions in this story which involved the whole team. This was an MF story with mature content.

Failure

Loved Daniel and Ashleigh’s story! I’m not going to lie but I might of been happiest about Williams! This was such a great second chance romance mixed with suspense and lots of love and steamy romance. Can’t wait for the next F-Bomb book.
