Silas is mentally tortured because he has to listen to his fellow Navy Seals die at the hands of a vile & ruthless man. The torture he ensures sounds unbearable. I think I would be begging for death myself. And as a Christian that's not easy to say. Until one day a stranger comes & lets him out. He tells him how to get out of the building & leaves. On his way out he hears a woman screaming. Being the good guy that he is he can't leave her there. Together they spend a month being pursued before they are rescued. Bianca happens to be a military doctor, without her he wouldn't have made it out. She had to constantly sew up seven long gashes he had that kept reopening. They fell in love while fleeing. However, that changed the minute Silas found out that her father was the one who had killed his Seal brothers. Which is completely irrational because you can't blame someone for who their parents are. He spent time in another state in a secluded cabin trying to get over her. He had a bunch of anger inside him from losing people he loved. And to top it all off he lost his twin sister & brother in law while he was in another state. His sister had a daughter he had never met. His sister had made him her guardian. He was going to sign his rights away without even meeting her. I wanted to reach through the book to slap him! As luck would have it she was there & he saw her crying in a playpen. He knew it was her immediately because they looked so much alike they could be father/daughter. Bianca never got over the heartache of loosing Silas. She helped a security firm find a missing friend of hers. And later took the firm up on their offer up on a permanent job. It just happened to be the same small town Silas decided to settle with his niece. And he worked for the same security firm. He was not happy she was there. He was trying to forget her & move on with his life. Bianca never gave up on the possibility of getting back together with him. She had looked into where he was after a few years. Needless to say growing up with a crime boss for a father she had a lot of baggage. And after her father murdered her mother she ran away. She changed her name & joined the military to get as far away from her fathers reach as possible. Yet her uncle tracked her down & kidnapped her from an Army base to save her dad's life. She purposely decided to let him die in the end because the world would be a better place. Now she thought she was as much a monster as he was. The security firm they worked for, was made up of mostly Christian ex military men & women. Bianca became intrigued by how everyone found so much joy and comfort from the Bible that she secretly started reading it. However, it was just a bunch of words on a page to her. Until she talked to the pastor of the local church. It was after that that she was able to believe in God. And a huge weight was lifted from her. Of course, this is when her uncle finds her. He kidnaps her & Silas & takes them to an undisclosed location. When they get there they are told why. And because I hate to ruin an ending you will have to read the book to find out.
