Sophia met Wade a few years back. The last she heard from him, he said he’d be back to take her out to dinner—and she never saw him again. Having spent several years in the meantime working with Merk and his team in Texas, when Terk called for her help Sophia jumped at the opportunity to go. Even if Wade didn’t understand, she knew a connection worth trying for when she felt it.
Wade is weak and helpless, his abilities damaged after the attack on Terk’s team. Seeing Sophia—the woman he fell in love with at first sight—hits him like a punch to the gut. His defenses are down, and he knows it will be impossible to keep her at arm’s length a second time.
Wade must bring her closer and protect her, especially after their team was shattered by the initial attack and subsequent attacks haven’t eased—not with the world slowly realizing that not only Terk survived the attack, but a few of his team did as well.
