Fate is twisted. Maybe destiny will give us a second chance.
I've been best friends with Skye since we were ten years old. She was my life. We did nearly everything together.
Until graduation night. The night I f'cked it all up.
Escaping to the Navy, I found a new home with the SEALs. Then tragedy struck, and I lost it all, again.
Now I find myself face-to-face with the woman I've tried so hard to forget. But it seems I've made it impossible for her to stop thinking about me. I left a brown-haired, brown-eyed reminder.
Her secret. My son.
A powerful reminder of how love can overcome all. A reminder that I have someone who needs me. Almost as much as I need him. And Skye.
I won't give up. This time I'll give it all I've got. I'll protect my new family as fiercely as I protected my country.
I just didn't realize I needed to protect them from me.
