For Cannon, a retired Marine now turned bodyguard, booze, his job and women have always been his Holy Trinity. When he receives a job to protect the Mayor's daughter, all hell breaks loose because the raven haired beau isn't just a brat but unlike a woman he has ever seen before. In the Marines, the code 'Once a Marine, always a Marine' is instilled in every man. Cannon knows he cannot have that perfect picture family with the Mayor's daughter so he does what any other guy should do. He pushes her away and abandons her when she needs him the most. Four years later, Cannon comes across the woman he abandoned carrying a three year old boy that looks like him in every aspect. Now he not only wants the white picket fence every man dreams of, he wants his sons and he wants her no matter how impossible it will be considering she is married to another man.
