As Darby Dixon sits in a tiny Texas church on her wedding day holding a positive pregnancy test, she realizes that marrying her abusive fiancÔe would be the worst decision of her life. She's never been very good at standing up for herself, but she won't let anyone hurt her baby. With very little cash and a ton of courage, she flees to the small town of Colorado Springs to take a new name and make a fresh start. Scott 'Trex' Trexler knows Darby is the woman he's been waiting for his whole life. She's sweet and strong and so very brave. As a Marine, he worked in some of the most treacherous places on earth, but nothing scares him more than a future without Darby in it. He knows she's been burned before, but he's determined to prove he's worth the risk. And when her ex starts making threats, he'll do anything it takes to protect her and her unborn child.
