Staff Sergeant Rowan McKinley vowed never to see Captain Phillip Stuart again, but now she desperately needs his help. She's been charged with murder, and Philip's the only one who can prove her innocent.

Phillip swore he'd never have anything to do with the one woman who broke his heart, yet how can he refuse her plea? Close quarters spark to life the love and passion each thought was gone, but any relationship between them is forbidden by military law.

Illicit desire is the least of Rowan's worries, however. If they can't catch the real killer she won't be able to prove her innocence. If they do catch him, there's still one other little problem – Philip doesn't know they have a son.
