Description from the publisher:
When Rylie Hart adopts her best friend’s daughter, in the wake of the woman’s untimely death, she goes from being an honorary aunt to a mother in the blink of an eye. Two years later, after kindergartner Mickey is diagnosed with leukemia, an anonymous donor is her only hope.

Twelve months after retired Marine Raider and current Blackhawk Security CEO, Chase Dixon, found himself in a position to give a little girl the gift of life, he gets to meet her for the first time. Not only does she instantly steal his heart, but so does her mother.

After Rylie receives legal documents contesting Mickey’s adoption, she discovers the secret her friend took to the grave. Once again, she finds herself fighting for her daughter’s life. Will Chase be able to come to their rescue one more time? Or will Rylie lose her little girl and the man she’s falling in love with?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLOOD BOUND is the second book in the Blackhawk Security series.  Each story will stand on its own.  I only wish I had the first one as well.
 
My heart has melted into a puddle and that makes me happy.  I absolutely loved this story.
 
Yes, anytime there is a small child involved, they are sure to steal my heart from the beginning.  This little sweetheart is scene-stealer!  She has everyone wrapped around her little finger, but only with love.
 
We know Chase as the man who flies in to assist our favorite Trident Security crews.  Now it’s his turn to meet and fall in love with the woman… or in this case women…. of his heart – Rylie & Mickey.
 
Princess Bride lines, a sweet child, a pit bull sweetie, and – oh yeah, by the way – a fantastic romance and some legal emotional suspense.  This story is amazing!
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
