Book Details: "Jeb Carson is tired; he's battle-hardened and tired. He's lived so long in the fringe of society and out on the field of honor, he's become a law unto himself. Now that the war is over, he has one rule - his rule. He doesn't take orders. He doesn't do what he doesn't want to do. He champions only what he likes, and he likes Elena Malone.
Years ago Elena was raped. Though a horrifying incident, she recovered and gave birth to a wonderful child whom she loves dearly. Now, the toddler has been kidnapped and she knows the child is her life. She enlists mercenary Jeb Carson to help her get the child back. She didn't mean to, at first, but once she sees his passion and honor, she knows he is her only hope...and not just to get her son back, but for a future as well"
