Navy SEAL Noah Coleman knows how to do two things well: underwater demolition and hand-to-hand combat. So renewing his enlistment is a no-brainer until he receives a message about his cousin’s aggressive terminal cancer. A quick trip home confirms the worst, which means his niece Bella will become his responsibility.
Elementary school guidance counselor Teagan Shaw has known Bella since her son announced the two were best friends. The shy little girl is also on Teagan’s radar because of Bella’s early signs of gifted aptitude. But Teagan is more concerned about the military man thrust into the role of single parent.
While Noah adjusts to civilian life and Eagle’s Ridge, he and Teagan begin forging a friendship. But Teagan has a secret, a shadowy figure from her past who is intent on returning to torment her.

Excerpt
He stepped around the breakfast
bar, and her pulse quickened. It wasn’t as if they hadn’t been alone, and of
course, she’d had any number of sex-related conversations with parents. Even
attractive dads, but at the time it never occurred to her that they were
good-looking. Sometimes it was just a fact. A person was attractive, and she
went about her business.
This was… chemistry. They had
it. Noah walked closer, and his skin prickled with nerves and excitement. Their
tension stacked, compounding with the hours they had known each other and with
every inch they drew closer.
Teagan’s insides fluttered. The
dizzy race of blood at the base of her neck made her breath stutter, then he
stopped. Too close to be near her and too damn far away.
Noah leaned his elbow on the
counter. “I don’t buy that for a second, Ms. Shaw.”
Okay. Okay. That was flirting.
Noah was flirting with her? But nothing about the gravity of the situation
drawing them together seemed strained by her ridiculous bachelor-SEAL-on-the
prowl assumptions.
Heat curled up her neck, and
she didn’t know what to say or think anymore.
“You don’t trust me.” He angled
closer, but it was the devastating smile that closed the distance, almost
curling around her.
Teagan licked her lips,
concentrating on the even keel of her tone. “I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to.”
She snorted at the smug
confidence. That much she could do without worry. Teasing him was easy. “Did
the SEALs give you the power to read minds?”
