Rachel Hart and I are nothing more than teammates. As mercenaries for hire with the elite Jameson Group, we have each other’s backs in the most dangerous of circumstances. But after a mission gone deadly wrong, we do something we’ve never done before. We cross the professional line and take comfort in one another’s arms.One night of passion turns our lives upside down with a pregnancy neither of … neither of us expected, and one that Rachel clearly never wanted. But I am a family man through and through, and I’m determined to raise my child, with or without Rachel by my side.
The only common thread Rachel and I have is our membership at The Wicked Horse, a sex club that lets us fulfill our dirtiest fantasies with one another. As we become more intimately entwined, I find myself falling for Rachel more and more. Our wicked nights together make us so much more than teammates. And when faced with losing everything, I have to hope that Rachel realizes the most difficult choices are actually the easiest ones to make.

Rachel and Bodie both worked for the Jameson Group. Both were happy with their careers. Doing what they both loved to do. Yes it could be dangerous but both being danger junkies they thrived at what they did. Until one night of unprotected sex changed everything. Bodie is a 26 year old guy loving life and Rachel is a 35 year old woman focused on her career. When she tells Bodie she is pregnant you would think he would be upset and not ready to jump in with both feet and raise his child. Let’s face it he’s 26 at the prime of his life and now he is to become a dad. Rachel on the other hand wants nothing to do with the child. She feels she is not ready to be a mom. Instead of Bodie ridiculing her he supports her and her decision but asks that she go through with the pregnancy so that he could raise the child by himself; with the help of his family. She could have taken the easy way out and went for an abortion but instead agrees to have the baby and then give him/her to Bodie to raise. But now Bodie feels he cannot continue with his career because it is so dangerous and takes him away so often and decides that once the baby is born he will return home to his family’s farm and raise the baby there.
In the back of his head he wonders if Rachel will regret her decision but he never tries to persuade her in any way. She must make the final decision herself.
I love how Rachel and Bodie accepted their situation and dealt with it the best way they could. She began to depend on Bodie and allow him into her heart. Had someone told her when she found out she was pregnant she would feel this way, no way, but Sawyer Bennett allowed these characters to grow and develop a relationship with each other that both would be happy with. It was such an added treat to see a male character act like Bodie did when he found out about the baby. He is ready to give up his career and move back home. While he loves his family and would do anything for them he wouldn’t exactly be happy with the career choice. But nothing stands in the way of his family.
