She thought her freedom was finally won. He’s the only man strong enough to keep it that way. Mary Steel has spent a year building a safe life for her eighteen-month-old son, Bruce. Escaping a nightmare was only the first step; running a women’s shelter is her second. But at a glittering charity gala, she encounters a man who challenges every wall she’s built. Dwayne Jensen is six-foot-five of pure, protective muscle, a former Navy SEAL who just inherited a billion-dollar empire. Dwayne is on a mission to reclaim his family’s company from the shadows of illegal arms dealing. He didn’t expect to find a “North Star” in a woman with a haunted gaze and a smile he’s willing to work for.
