Callan 'Cannon' Asher traded his Force Recon rifle for a Miami security contract, thinking civilian protection would be straightforward. Pulling triggers came naturally. Protecting innocents even more so. Then came the assignment protecting the Mayor's daughter—a raven-haired woman who shattered every expectation he had. She wasn't just difficult; she was intoxicating. One night of passion became his greatest miscalculation. When she clung too tightly, he walked away, convinced love was a distraction he couldn't afford. But Cannon learned a brutal truth: intimacy isn't a covert Afghan mission wrapped up in days. It's a messy, complicated battlefield that consumes everything. He'd never wanted monogamy. Yet she consumed his every waking thought. He'd never imagined a family, a white picket fence, a domestic life. Then she gave him sons—twins who carried his blood. Now Nicole Montenegro stands as his greatest betrayal. She hid his children from him. Worse, she married another man, giving his sons a stepfather. Another man raising what should have been his legacy. This isn't just another mission. This is personal. This is war. Code name: Cannon Objective: Reclaim his woman. Reclaim his sons. Whatever it takes.
