This Marine will protect her at all costs . . .
When wealthy heiress Alyssa Brooks finds out her stepfather has been paying her fiance to marry her, she's humiliated and betrayed. She quickly breaks the engagement, only to be blackmailed by her now ex-fiance, who threatens both Alyssa and the son she gave up for adoption. With nowhere to go, she turns to the one man she can trust.
Former Marine sniper Hunter Reece's lethal skills could save Alyssa's life. But his little sister's best friend has turned into a woman, who is an irresistible mix of secrets and sexiness. And while Hunter can trust himself to protect her, he can't trust himself to keep his attraction hidden . . . or even pretend to be the man that Alyssa remembers.
Because the only way to keep the lovely heiress safe is to become the one thing he knows she could never love . . . a killer.
Contains mature themes.
Logan Knight's last mission as a Marine left him with more than one kind of scar and a dream of helping other veterans dealing with the same pain. He has the money. He has a plan. Now, he just needs his portion of the family's property. But, years ago, his father made him sign an agreement that the land is only his if he's married by thirty. With just a few months until his birthday, Logan needs a temporary wife.
Becky Holmes and her baby are barely scraping by, on the run from her ex. She'll do whatever it takes to protect her child. When the wealthy, sexy, emotionally haunted Logan offers a solution, it seems like it just may be her only option. It doesn't hurt that he's kind and makes her feel wanted in a way she never has.
As they spend more days-and nights-together, Logan wants to make their relationship real. But his attempt to have it all backfires into a betrayal that forces Becky into a heart-wrenching choice no woman should ever have to make.
