He left to keep her safe…

Now she’s in peril again.

After her best friend’s murder, heiress Julia Gardiner becomes guardian to her baby, Lily. But when she needs him most, Finn Maguire, the child’s uncle—and Julia’s lover—leaves without explanation. Framed and dishonorably discharged from the army, Finn believes his investigation into his case got his sister killed. And abandoning Julia and Lily is necessary to protect them. But when a man claiming paternity challenges Julia’s custody, Finn returns to help her. Then Lily is kidnapped. Now Finn and Julia must overcome their painful past to save her—and finally clear his name.
