One mission: protect her. One desire: to love her.
In the heart-pounding second installment of the Dangerous Desires series, Ryan Gallagher has swapped his special ops gear for a chef’s apron, embracing a quieter life in a small diner in downtown Houston. But the echoes of his adrenaline-fueled past are never far behind. Just when he thinks he’s found peace in the routine of an ordinary life, his world is turned upside down when he has to protect the one woman he wants but believes he can never have: Lacey Warner.
Lacey can’t forget the courageous soldier who once saved her best friend’s child. Drawn to Ryan's quiet strength, she becomes a regular at his diner, savoring not just his food but the unspoken connection between them. When a shocking kidnapping attempt forces Ryan to spring into action, their lives collide in a whirlwind of danger, intrigue, and passion.
Suddenly, they’re on the run, and Ryan must protect the woman he secretly desires while confronting the demons of his past. As they navigate the perilous twists and turns that come their way, Lacey finds herself falling deeper for the man who seems determined to keep her at arm’s length.
Will Ryan be able to shield Lacey from the threats that loom large? And can Lacey break through the barriers that keep Ryan guarded, revealing the vulnerable heart beneath his tough exterior?
