How do you protect the woman you love…when the greatest danger is sleeping in her bed?

Sydney can't remember a time when Chas wasn't part of her life-from childhood playmates, to high-school sweethearts, to long-distance friends. Now, Chas is leaving the Marines and coming home.

Together again, it feels as if they were never apart, the love they'd shared as innocent teens now vastly more intense as adults-with a sexual hunger to match.

However, Chas can't shake the memories of his tours in the Middle East and struggles to hide his increasing lack of control, terrified of losing everything he'd just regained--including Sydney.
