"Thrilling Navy SEAL romance."

Navy SEAL Gabe Renault returns from a year in a North Korean prison missing memories from about three years of his life. While he doesn't remember his wife, Helen, and can't remember much about his relationship with her or with his stepdaughter, he is thrown by the cool reception he receives on his return.

Helen has finally come into her own. Stepping out of the shadow of her SEAL husband, who put his work before his family during their marriage, she's shocked at his return. As he tries to fit himself back into their lives, she and her daughter have many issues to deal with.

Danger confronts the family as someone works to keep Gabe from remembering exactly what happened when he was injured. Can the family pull together to survive and thrive?

The amnesia plots always bother me, but Ms. Melton spends a lot of time on the relationship between these two hurting and bruised characters, making this book a good one. There's enough excitement to make the book a thriller and enough romance for the heart!
