The once highly decorated SEAL officer, Brad Johnson, gave up his life and career as a SEAL when his father became ill. He returned home to New York City to help with the family business, which had afforded Brad, and his family with many luxuries in his life. He liked his Upper-East-Side living, but for many years, there has been a large void in his life. One that has forced him to become notorious as a bit of a playboy.It was amazing how one event, however devastating changed your life forever.Bigger than missing the men of his Team, more than wishing he would be back on mission in his camouflage gear, blowing stuff up, he hopes that he doesn’t screw up the large corporation of which he has become the head of.The yearly charity ball, the one time of the year he doesn’t mind wearing the penguin suit, is upon him. The yearly report to the men of the board he has known since he was little, is also due.

Years before, a boating accident had robbed her of her younger years. Living in a new world, she had to relearn who her family was, which wasn’t so easy. They have been honest, and open with her, but there are some things they left out, especially one very important one.The moment she meets Brad for the ’first time’, he seems far more familiar than he should.
