My dog, her son + our instant undeniable connection: Will it be enough to thaw the wall of ice I’ve lived behind for years?
MAJOR RAFE LUCAS
My life has been duty, sacrifice and keeping everyone at arm’s length. I’ve lost too many good men to now call anyone friend. But now, six months away from retirement, I’ve discovered my next chapter: training retired K9s as service dogs for veterans with PTSD.
Then, on a rare weekend off, my dog sneaks over and introduces herself to our new neighbor. Well, one of them anyway. A nine-year-old boy with scraped-up knees, a lopsided grin and a ton of endless questions.
And when I meet his mom, FIREWORKS: it’s like the colors are brighter, the air is crisper, and my hormones roar back to peak teenage-era levels. Incredibly, I see a mutual interest radiating from the sexy, curvy and sassy brunette.
But just as quickly, I discover she’s my CO’s sister, which makes her off-limits. Maybe not technically a rule, but I respect the base commander too much to cross that line. Besides, what do I know about dating a single mom? Plus, the family thing has never been on my radar.
JACI CAIN
My ex is an ass who left us for a new wife and a new kid without so much as a backward glance. So, moving cross country to live with my sister may not be ideal, but it’s the new start we need. And bonus, I can run my online jewelry business from anywhere.
When I meet the silver fox neighbor my son has developed a serious case of hero worship over, I instantly become tongue-tied before taking a tumble right into his muscular arms. He might be stoic, but his good heart shines through the grumpy exterior he wears like a shield.
And just like that, I realize I’m not going to let one unhappy ending keep me from trying again.
But when he unexpectedly shifts from blazing interest to a frigid deep freeze, I soon discover through the Pine Valley grapevine that Rafe is using my sister and his tragic past as reasons not to pursue the intense desire sparking between us.
Can I convince the grumpy major that taking a chance on love is more important than following the rules?
