"Everyone I've ever loved has been taken from me and I can't take the heartache anymore. It's time to build that wall around my heart and let no one in, no exceptions."
"Having the sort of job that is as dangerous as what I do doesn't allow for a personal life, no exceptions."
Jack and his team of military misfits have seen their fair share of war zones and violent criminals. Skilled in precision rescue operations, they've traveled into some of the most terrifying countries and stood up to intimidating adversaries, but when a mentor of Jack's calls them in for a favor that he is unable to turn down, he finds himself up against his most challenging fear of allhis heart. There is a fine line between getting close enough to do your job and getting so close that you get attached. That line used to be obvious, but now that he's met her, things have blurred and priorities have shifted. Can he keep his feelings in check and still protect Ellie from an adversary more dangerous and twisted than she could ever imagine?
