The 7th and final chapter of the NEXTUS Security Series brings everything full circle

—where passion, danger, and redemption collide in an unforgettable conclusion...

He’s the loyal protector carrying an impossible truth.

She’s the vibrant, fierce woman who refuses to let him go.

Derrick Sanders has spent his life putting others first. At 51, the unwavering leader of NEXTUS Security is used to being the rock everyone depends on. When Annabelle Edgars—the woman who’s turned his quiet world upside down—tells him she’s carrying his child, his carefully built control shatters. Derrick knows it can’t be true. After all, he’s been told fatherhood is impossible.

Annabelle is almost half his age, yet every glance from Derrick sends heat coursing through her veins. His steady strength and quiet intensity make her feel seen, wanted, and completely alive. He’s the man she’s fallen hard for, even if he’s too stubborn to admit the pull between them. When Derrick starts to pull away, she’s left reeling, desperate to prove that their fiery connection is more than just a spark.

Derrick can’t ignore the fire between them. Loving Annabelle feels like crossing a line he swore he’d never cross. She’s young, vibrant, and everything he never thought he deserved. With an old enemy threatening Grove Rock and emotions running high, they’ll be forced to confront the unrelenting tension that’s been building between them.

As passion ignites and secrets unravel, Derrick and Annabelle’s connection grows impossible to resist...

Now, the only question is: will their love survive the storm, or will doubts and fears tear them apart?

Secrets. Passion. And a love that refuses to quit.

This is NEXTUS Security at its most unforgettable.
