She's ready to live life to the fullest, but someone has other plans for her. Shelley Stone became a stepmother at twenty-five, raising her daughter plus three boys aged fourteen to eight while their father was absent and uninterested. She put her entire life on hold to give the kids all the love and guidance missing in their lives. Now her oldest son is getting married and she is done letting her dreams die and life pass her by. She starts by taking one night with a gorgeous stranger who sees her as a vibrant woman rather than a responsible mother. But par for the course, nothing in her life goes as expected. Former Navy SEAL, Enrique "Bulletproof" Santana is in Las Vegas for his friend's wedding and some much needed R & R. He's at loose ends and trying to figure out what to do next with his life. But in the meantime, he's going to enjoy everything about Vegas. His vacation turns awkward when he discovers his smoking hot one night stand is actually his pal's stepmother. When Shelley's life is threatened, Ric doesn't hesitate to step into the role of bodyguard and protector. But as Ric grows closer to Shelley, he can't help but wonder if it is too late for love.
