In many ways, they were better together, physically, than they ever had been. The distance and time spent away had perhaps built in both of them the appreciation and fondness for what their needs were. Unashamed and relentless, the tussle of the sheets and sleep just enough to get ready to do it all over again, they abandoned whatever their lives were up to that day, put everything on pause to enjoy the love play, the wonder and satisfaction of being fully satisfied, giving everything they had.

It was a beautiful thing.”

NYT Bestselling author Sharon Hamilton tells the second chance story of Dimitri Kyriakos, former Navy SEAL and State Department Special Agent. His specialty is in hostage rescue. Dedicated to protecting the innocent at all costs, he has failed at two marriages, and considers himself a permanent bachelor. He learns that his first love, Moira Conti, an embedded news reporter who was thought to be killed in a botched rescue by another SEAL Team over two years ago, may still be alive.

Read as Kyriakos investigates and tracks the paramilitary leader blamed for her death. As harsh truths are laid bare, Kyriakos deals with the realities of mafia and families at war, collateral damage, honor, and sacrifice. His mission will take him unexpected places and may cost him everything. But dead or alive, finding, or avenging Moira is worth the ultimate sacrifice.
