Ethan

Dead to their pasts. Ghosts. No family ties. No connections. Six men with a top-secret mission move to a small town where they have to navigate local life, protect their secret, and, above all, stay single.

Ethan "Dragon" Snow has spent five years trying to forget the woman who got away. When Paisley Allen walks into Sutton's Creek as the new head librarian, he's stunned-and even more shocked when he meets her four-year-old daughter. He could be wrong, but does the little girl have his eyes?

Paisley fled Florida to escape her abusive husband, a disgraced former Hostile Operations Team soldier with a dangerous obsession. She's found the perfect place to start a new life far from her ex-until she runs into a ghost from her past. 

The last thing she wants is help from Ethan, the man who walked away without a word when she needed him most. But when her ex tracks them to Sutton's Creek, she has no choice. 

Ethan isn't supposed to get involved. His cover, his team, his mission-everything depends on staying away from Paisley. But how can he walk away from the woman he never forgot and the daughter who might be his? 

First, he'll have to convince Paisley to trust him-and prove he won't abandon her ever again. Because he finally has a chance to be the man he's always wanted to be-and to claim the family that should have been his.
