Navy Veteran, Amy Killigan, is on the run from her abusive ex-husband Matthew. She's been running for years, ever since she turned him into the DEA in for using his military position to be a mule for a Mexican cartel. Her anonymous tip resulted in the military dishonorably discharging him, the death of a DEA Agent, and no solid proof as to what he had done. The proof went with the DEA Agent... But she still has a secret: she knows that he is still working for the cartel and she can prove it. She knows more about their drug routes than the DEA knew. If she reveals her secret it could cost Matthew his life and cut off major routes for the cartel.Alec just wanted to mourn the wife that had been murdered while he was hunting a drug runner for the Scotland Yard. Shutting himself off from the pain, he fled the Yard and the UK all together for a quiet vacation in America. Within hours of his arrival he finds Amy hanging upside down from a poacher's trap. As rope comes loose and she falls on him, any chance he had at a quiet vacation was now gone.After Amy's ex-husband tries to murder her, Alec's protective instincts take over. He does the one thing that he can do for her: he takes Amy home to Scotland, to his family-his large boisterous Scottish family, to the brothers he got in trouble with as a child, to the parents that love him more than anything, and to the memories that haunt him. After all, where is a safer place to take her than home to a Constable, a bodyguard, a newly hired Interpol Agent, and the parents that raised them?Will Alec's love for Amy be able to save her? Or will they both be lost in the fight against Matthew's obsession?
