I like to win. Always have. And from what I've seen, love is a losing battle.
Just ask my mother after my father left.
I'm married to my job as a Navy SEAL instead.
Love and all that comes with it has no place in my life.
Or so I think.
Then Emily Edwards adopts my baby brother. And he needs cancer treatment.
Here I am sitting on access to healthcare and free housing.
It makes sense to marry Emily, to give Matthew a fighting chance.
And I'll get to have a family...without all the emotional baggage.
But Emily gets under my skin in a way no woman ever has.
And then she starts getting threatening messages.
Suddenly, all that matters is keeping Emily-and our family-safe.
No matter the cost to myself...or my traitorous heart.
