about the book
She vanished on their wedding day. Now she’s back… and someone wants her dead.
Zane Knox is a man who doesn’t officially exist.
The former Navy SEAL has spent years living in the shadows, forced into off-the-books missions for a government agency that owns his secrets—and his freedom. He’s learned the hard way that love is a liability and trust gets you killed.
Until the woman who broke his heart stumbles onto his boat in the middle of the night.
Bruised. Terrified. And begging for medical supplies.
Tessa Lane doesn’t know who’s hunting her or why. She only knows that nowhere is safe and that every place she runs to turns into another crime scene. The faith she once clung to is gone. So is her belief in love… and the vows she nearly made to Zane.
But when the danger closes in and her past catches up to her, Zane becomes the only safe place she has left.
Protecting Tessa was never part of his mission.
But losing her might destroy what little is left of him.
As a relentless enemy hunts them through the coastal shadows, Zane and Tessa must confront the secrets that tore them apart—and the faith, love, and redemption that might be the only things that can save them now.
Because this time, walking away isn’t an option.

review
an exciting start to the iron tide brotherhood series!
tessa's on the run and has nowhere to turn... except to the man she left at the altar years ago. zane's not exactly the same man she knew though... but he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
the past still haunts both tessa and zane, and amidst the present danger, they have a second chance to overcome the challenges that have been before them for far too long. their story is oh so sweet, but action-packed. fast-paced, heartwarming, faith-filled... it's a good blend that makes it an addicting read.
considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: consistent christian themes and mentions
—content: violence, death, mentions of abuse
