Protecting His Future by Anna Blakely

Chase Boyer has been in love once in his life, but a cruel twist of fate destroyed the future he’d already built inside his young mind. Since then, his focus has been on helping the innocent. First with the Navy, and now, as part of Eagle’s Nest Securities. Working alongside his former SEAL brothers, Chase and his team continue fighting the good fight. Only now, it’s on their terms. When that same work brings him face-to-face with his past, he realizes it’s actually the future he’s been waiting for.
Scottlynn “Scottie” Cahill used to dream of being in the spotlight. But a night of unexpected violence changes all that, and soon, she can’t seem to get out of the public eye fast enough. Starting over, Scottie decides to turn her experience into something good, and she becomes the new chef for Liberty House–a shelter for abused women in need of a safe haven of their own. In a shocking turn of events, Scottie runs into Chase, her former high school sweetheart.
Before long, the love these two shared rekindles, and it seems as if they’ll finally get the future they’ve both thought to be lost. But just as Scottie is faced with another surprising-and life-changing-event, a danger neither realized existed strikes out. If Chase and his team can’t find Scottie before it’s too late, he won’t only lose the woman who owns his heart. He’ll lose a future he didn’t even realize was within his grasp.
