Sisco by Maryann Jordan

Former SEAL and new LSI-MT Keeper, Sisco Aguilar, never expected his day at the hospital to turn into a nightmare.

All he wanted was to finish his paramedic recertification and head home. But instead, he found himself thrust into a life-or-death hostage situation, protecting a terrified little girl and her stunning, single mother.
Lenore Keller’s day was meant to be filled with hope.
With her daughter Evie in remission, she just wanted to get through the hospital tests and receive more good news. The last thing she expected was to be trapped in a deadly standoff, with a man who looked like he could take on the world—and who was now her daughter’s only protector.
As the tension escalates, Sisco realizes that meeting Lenore was more than just a twist of fate. Her strength and devotion pulled him in, and her daughter’s innocent bravery tugs at his heart. In this moment of crisis, Sisco is determined to prove he’s not just a hero for the day, but the man they can rely on forever.

With the full might of Lighthouse Security Investigations Montana behind him, Sisco vows to protect Lenore and Evie with everything he has—because this is the family he never knew he needed, and he’s not about to let them slip away.
