Carolyn Evert couldn’t take the constant worry and stress that came with having a Navy SEAL fiancé, so she broke it off…then realized she was pregnant. After radio silence greeted her repeated attempts to inform Zach of the pregnancy, Carolyn moved on with her life. Little Austin is happy and healthy, and while she hates the idea of him growing up without a father, she’s determined to safeguard … safeguard the jewelry store her mother founded and make sure Austin never feels unwanted. But everything changes when the store is robbed at gunpoint. Carolyn outwits the robber and defuses the hostage situation—then in strides Zach as part of the security response team. Zach quickly makes it clear he had no idea about the pregnancy, and Carolyn eventually agrees to let him into their son’s life…but she’s a lot more hesitant about letting Zach back into her own heart.
Zach Vale won’t let anything keep him from being the best dad he can be. If Carolyn wants nothing to do with him, he’ll live with that. But he can’t help but want to protect her and their son. It soon becomes apparent the robbery isn’t an isolated incident—and more than Carolyn’s business is in danger, especially when she insists on investigating the robbery herself. As she works to solve the mystery of who’s behind the vicious attacks, Zach works to make himself part of their lives and keep them safe. After all, he’s still in love with Carolyn, and maybe if he can be her hero for once, he can convince her to give him another chance.

Carolyn and Zach have a history that is not great and results in an accidental pregnancy. When Zach comes back into Carolyn’s life he meets Austin who is his son. I liked that Zach wanted to be there for Austin. Things are not always smooth sailing for Zach and Carolyn but I am glad they were able to overcome and get their happy ending.

Once again Leslie North produces another fabulous romantic read with plenty of mystery. The complex plot brings together several well developed characters. There was someone out there trying to hurt Carolyn Evert, and then in walks Zach Vale the father of her child wanting to protect her. There was massive amounts of intrigue with plenty of twists and turns at every corner to hold your attention from beginning until the very end.

Zach was devastated when his fiancée Carolyn breaks up with him because he is a SEAL – too much stress about black ops.
When he is asked to aid in a jewelry heist/hostage situation as a sniper, he agrees, not knowing it is Carolyn’s, until she steps out, a gun to her head and a small boy in her arms. After the hostage situation is solved he finds out the boy is his son and his world tilts. Carolyn is attacked again and as the police cannot do much she decides to find out who is behind the threats. Zach persuades her to let him help. Together they look for the enemy and at the same time build bridges and uncover misconceptions of the other.
A nice mix of suspense and romance, with a touch of humor provided by their son.

Zach and Carolyn aren’t together any longer. In fact, she contacted him multiple times to let her know that she was pregnant, but never heard a word from him, so she moves on with her life and her adorable son. Fate throws them together again when her jewelry store is robbed. He wants to be involved in Austin’s life, and the two of them begin a new relationship as well. But things are going wrong at work – the robbery, a fire, orders being cancelled. There are just too many events for them to be just coincidental. This book is a great opener to the new series. I just love Carolyn – she’s strong, independent, smart, a great mom, and she’s able to forgive Zach for his absence. Zach is a terrific guy, and it’s great how easily he’s able to connect with Austin. And they both grow up and deal with their past parental issues.

The chemistry between Zach and Caroline sizzles off the pages. I could not put down my ereader. The family dynamic was incredible. The lost years together disappeared quickly. I can’t wait to read more in this series. Leslie North did not disappoint. A must read.
