Hotch has been half in love with his best friend’s girl since he first heard about her, but there’s no way he’d encroach on the relationship of a fellow Navy SEAL. They’re closer than brothers. So when his friend dies and Erin is left equally as devastated at the funeral, and equally as needy, grief sex seemed like a good idea. Two years later the guilt has compounded and Erin is back—with a child. Nothing’s ever easy in the military, but especially when he finds out that Erin’s the daughter of his disapproving Commanding Officer. There’s a spark between Hotch and Erin that’s undeniable, but the baggage just might trip them up. Will they get lost in the battle, or find each other despite all the things that conspire against them?
