Kyle Richards was born to be law enforcement, first as an Air Force Security Forces K-9 handler, and then as a beat cop in his hometown of Atlanta. When an injury ended his police career, Kyle set up shop as a private investigator, spending his days spying on cheating spouses and dishonest delivery men. His life didn't leave much time for relationships. 


The last time Esme Lejeune saw Kyle Richards, she was a young cocktail waitress with big plans. Though she had major chemistry with the handsome Airman, she wasn’t about to let a relationship interfere with achieving her dreams. Before things could even get off the ground, he was transferred to another duty station and their casual relationship ended. Esme moved on with her life, raising her daughter as a single mom. 


Sixteen years later, a law enforcement conference brings Kyle back to San Antonio and puts him right in the path of his old flame. With everything finally out on the table, will Kyle be able overcome his shock, or will the secrets from Esme’s past threaten the chance to become the family they should have been all along?
