During the chaotic upheaval of his team, guys transferring, new guys coming in, and the veterans left dealing with the loss of one of their own, Ryuu āDragonā Shannon heads home for a visit to his Brooklyn neighborhood. He runs into the tattoo artist who had painstakingly inked the amazing dragon that ran from his calf all the way up his body. Heād been drunk that night, and sheād been willing. But now Jo looks scared, and sheās clutching the hand of a little dark-haired girl, Dragon is shocked to discover is her daughter, Ceri. Jo is brusque and standoffish, and Dragon canāt help but wonder why. As they are thrown together, heās charmed by her sweet daughter and starts to fall for the girl heād never gotten the chance to know and who has grown into a woman he canāt get off his mind.
Josephine Moretti is horrified that Dragon is back for an extended leave. She remembered touching his body both when she gave him his distinctive tattoo and the night they spent together. A night that changed her life andā¦gave her Ceri. Sheād had a thing for him, even when sheād pretended they were friends. Heād never wanted to be tied down, and had always wanted out of the city. Now he was a Navy SEAL, and as far as she could tell, nothing had changed. Why complicate matters by telling him that Ceri belonged to him? But, Dragon has been away for a while, and Joās learned to take care of them both, but when a protection racket threatens her business, and both their lives, she finds that Dragon is every inch the hero she thought he was and maybe, just maybe, an amazing dad for Ceri.
