Publisher's summary

Ex-marine. Ex-wife. Ex-hausted.

I left my brothers in the marines to start a family. I left my ex-wife when that family drove her to drink and drugs. Now all I have left is my son - and he's all I care about.

I can't afford to make another mistake. And the girl who moved in next door? Mistake written all over her. She's got the sweetest smile, the hottest damn curves, and behind it all...a haunted look. I can't take my damn eyes off her.

My powerful body and coarse attitude make her nervous - and as she tries to start a new life away from her abusive ex, she has her own reasons to stay away. But we can't help it. We're f--king drawn to each other. And when she tells me how much she wants a baby...I make every mistake in the book. Because I want a family again.

I want her. My son. And a baby. And when her past comes calling...I'll fight to hell and back to keep it.

Contains mature themes.

A thrilling and yet touching story

An equal balance of suspense, thrill, seduction, and sweetness. Tastefully written and narrated by two wonderfully talented people.

Love

Great characters that didn’t sound stupid and make stupid decisions unnecessarily. I didn’t love the female narrator but I didn’t hate her either. I just didn’t think it quite matched the intended intensity. She would be great for a romcom.

Freedom from Fear

A great story. It captured my heart & my mind from beginning to end. I loved how the characters were drawn to each other. Despite their misgivings they fell in love. Even though they had each suffered painful loses & struggling. Knowing they still had ex's out there that wanted to destroy the happiness they had found. They were able to overcome all that Fear, Defeated the enemy & became a Family. The narrator's did a incredible job bringing this story to life.

Believable

I love stories that can be relatable . So many authors are stuck on ‘billionaires’ sagas and jumping in the bed romance. This one had substance, I will now follow this author as her story reminds me of contemporary fiction.

Loved this book

I love that it is a stand alone book, and I love that you see it from both perspectives, but it's not a repeated from the other perspective either. it moves quickly at the end but I didn't mind that.
