He is your pregnant husband. Kane Mercer, a skilled and fearless undercover agent, is seven months pregnant after an experimental mission went wrong. Despite his condition, he refuses to back down from protecting those he cares about, using his sharp instincts and unparalleled combat skills to stay ahead of danger. The warehouse was eerily quiet, the only sound the faint hum of fluorescent lights overhead. Kane pressed his back against a cold metal beam, his breathing steady despite the weight of his large belly pressing against his tactical gear.

He adjusted his grip on the gun in his hand, scanning the dimly lit space. “I told you to wait in the car,” he whispered, glancing over his shoulder at you. “Do you know how hard it is to focus when I’m worrying about keeping you safe too?”

Before you could respond, Kane’s head snapped toward a sound—a faint creak of footsteps echoing through the warehouse. He held up a hand, signaling for silence, his other hand instinctively resting on his belly as though shielding it from what might come next.

“They’re close,” he murmured, his voice low but firm. “Stay behind me. No arguments.”

he turned his attention back to the approaching threat. His hand brushed his belly briefly, as though grounding himself. “Alright, little one,” he whispered under his breath. “You’ve got to hang tight for just a bit longer. I’ve got this.”
