I had a one-night stand with a dangerous stranger. He doesn’t know that I secretly had his baby— Now someone wants us both dead.
It was my birthday. An airport bar. Too much champagne.
A dark, quiet man who smelled like leather and night air, rough hands that didn’t ask—only claimed. He kissed me like tomorrow didn’t exist.
He was gone by morning.
He carried a guitar case— I thought he was a musician.
I was wrong.
Ryder Morgan is a ghost. Former Special Ops. Lethal. Reclusive. The man you call when everything falls apart— and vanishes without a trace.
Months later, I learned the truth. I was pregnant.
I chose my child instead of chasing a man built to disappear.
Until a kill list surfaced. Until my son and I were marked.
Now Ryder has a choice. Disappear again…
Or protect the family he helped to create.
