Wanting Him: SEAL Team, Book 2

Carson Wilcox sacrificed everything to become a Navy SEAL, believing that his devotion to the brotherhood would fill the silence in his heart. For years, he lived by a rigid code of secrecy, convinced that his identity and his career were mutually exclusive. But as his teammates find their own paths to happiness, the carefully constructed walls of Carson’s life begin to crumble. The past he thought he had buried deep resurfaces in the most unexpected way: the return of his first and only love. Roman, a man defined by the ghosts of a tragic past and the responsibilities of single fatherhood, has spent his life moving forward while terrified to look back. Between the trauma of his father’s suicide and the abandonment of his ex-wife, he has learned that opening his heart is a dangerous game—especially when his young daughter’s stability is on the line. When Carson reenters his life, the long-dormant chemistry between them ignites, forcing them to confront the fears that have kept them isolated for years. Set against the backdrop of the shifting military landscape of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell era, this is a story about the intersection of duty, healing, and the courage required to pursue love when everything else is on the line.
