When former Navy SEAL Hudson Carmichael sets out to rescue a woman in danger and bring her to Vanishing Ranch for refuge, he knows exactly what he needs to do. But his plan is thrown off course when he comes face-to-face with his dead fiancée.

When Teagan Murphy unwillingly became entangled in the Farino crime family, she had no choice but to leave Hudson-and her entire life-behind. Now, as the stakes are raised, Teagan must find a way to disappear . . . again. She never expects Hudson, the only man she's ever loved, to be the one to rescue her. But he's here, and he has questions that need answers.

As Hudson and Teagan work together to gain her freedom, they once again find themselves hoping for what might have been. But one secret is keeping Teagan alive-a secret that has the power to change everything.
