Sheltering Lily

I'll be honest. My childhood sucked. Drunk father. Missing mother. So I'll be damned if I don't give my adopted daughter the best possible life.She's already lost so much. The least she deserves is a little stability. A good home with two loving parents.For now, she's only got me. So, until I stumble across Mrs. Right, I'll have to settle for hiring the best nanny.That's where Lily Rhodes comes in.She's perfect for the job-great qualifications and she's great with my daughter. But she's made one thing abundantly clear. She doesn't plan to stick around long.I wish that didn't bother me so much. But the truth is, it's getting pretty hard to imagine life without her.But there's something else. Something that's kicking all of my SEAL instincts into high alert.Someone's been watching us. Following us. Someone who may want to hurt us.I need to protect my daughter. I need to keep Lily safe. Because losing either of them simply isn't an option.
