First Sergeant Mack McClanahan loved his wife, Charlotte, more than anything. The two of them dreamed of having a big family. After years of miscarriages and heart break, Charlotte packs her things and leaves, telling him to have the dream with someone else. He couldn't convince her that the only thing he really wanted was her… that she was all the family he needed. After retiring from the military, he moves to Upstate New York to live like a hermit. He spends his days refurbishing an old farm house, and spending time with his dog, Bo, trying to forget the woman he lost.

The day my wife slept with my best friend, everything fell apart. There was only one person I could turn to–my teammate and secret desire, Trinity "Taz" Guerro. We shared one passionate night. I woke up alone, without even a note on the dresser. She called it a mistake. I called it a new beginning.

I've seen the worst humanity has to offer. I gave up everything for my country as a career spy. Now, the only thing my daughter wants from me is to get her mother, my first and only love, to her wedding. The mother of my child is just as stunning as she was three decades ago. When I approach her, she immediately attacks, protecting herself in a way that I'd never seen before. Someone has hurt her. If I had to guess, they hurt her for years. Her walls are higher than the fucking Andes Mountains, hiding a wounded Princess inside.
