When a special-forces soldier receives heartfelt letters from a little girl he's never met, they become his lifeline—until they abruptly stop, and he knows something is terribly wrong. Elizabeth and her daughter are fleeing a dangerous past, and though she can't afford distractions, she desperately needs the help of this mysterious man who appears exactly when she needs him most. As Dash's protective instincts awaken, he transforms into the fierce guardian they both need, willing to move mountains to keep them safe. It's a swoon-worthy tale of found family, second chances, and an alpha hero who'll stop at nothing for his mate.
