"I'm pregnant." Thyssen Skalas, a Navy SEAL in his prime, responds to his childhood love, Charlotte's announcement with a foolish question, "Is it mine?" which lands him thrown out on his ass. Three years later, after an out of control downward spiral in the SEALs, he hits rock bottom. Discharged from the Navy he becomes a contract killer for the Greek mob before he washes back up on Charlotte's doorstep with a vengeful target on his tail. Charlotte Jones is stunned to find that the filthy vagabond lying sick with fever in her shed is Thyssen, the father of her toddler and the man who broke her heart three years ago. Even more shocking is that he's no longer a SEAL and involved with a mob family his father cut ties with years ago. Oh and he also led an insane professional killer to her door. Thank you Thyssen Skalas. When bullets start to fly and Charlotte and his son are in danger, Thyssen hides his family so he can sort things out. There he'll have a chance to redeem himself to Charlotte, and hopefully have his one true love fall back in love with him all over again.
