Sometimes second chances are the biggest risk of all…
When Navy SEAL Trace Michaels reappears in single dad Mark Riley’s life, not only is it unexpected. It’s inconvenient, and not only because Trace is his adopted daughter’s biological uncle. As a recent widower, Mark’s attraction to the strong, silent SEAL is way too dangerous to his broken heart.
But Trace has his own problems. His recent mission ended in tragedy, with his commanding officer murdered. The Navy brass suspect foul play - and Trace is the prime suspect. Mark’s the only PI he knows who can help him clear his name before the clock runs out and he’s put on trial…
When Mark agrees to help Trace on the case, their chemistry ignites into passion, but can they discover the truth in time to save Trace’s career and their possible future together?
T.S. Ankney read their first romance novel at age twelve, when they snuck a book with a risqué cover out of a relative’s cabinet and read it at night under the covers with a flashlight to avoid getting caught relishing the “good parts.” They are a tiny blue dot in a big red state in the Midwest US and they love a sad song, a happily ever after, and believe representation matters. When not writing, you can find TS streaming documentaries, reading new books by their favorite authors, or indulging in reality TV competition shows like Project Runway or Great British Baking Show.
