Billy

What if you’d spent your whole life fighting for everyone else, and someone finally fought for you?

Rebecca Barnes has spent fifteen years standing between kids and the worst days of their lives. It’s the only thing that ever made her feel like she mattered. Now someone is coming after the work she built, and for once, the rules she lives by won’t let her fight back.

Billy Anderson never forgot her. He was the boy who asked her to a dance when nobody else saw her. Then the Navy made him a SEAL and sent him around the world. Sixteen years, a dozen deployments, and a badge in Alaska later, he never once went back for her.

Now he’s starting over in the Washington woods with a retired war dog and a case that’s already turned deadly. Someone with money and friends in high places is hurting people on Billy’s ground.

Then Rebecca shows up on his porch.

She built a beautiful life, and someone wants to take it. There is no way on earth Billy will ever let that happen.
