From bestselling author Jean Stokes... ??A woman setting out on her own... A hopeless romantic. A dangerous scorned lover.??

Kayla

I left everything behind to start a new life in Fort Balerno. I need to take time for myself, to figure out what it is that I want, and what will make me happy.

The problem is people's pasts have a way of catching up to them. Even though I told my ex it was over, he still keeps threatening to come find me and bring me home.

I'm used to being alone, so it's not like I'm missing out on anything, even when a gorgeous ex-Marine falls right into my life and promises me everything I didn't know I was missing.

I can't afford to get chained down again. I need to fly free.

Being with Dax won't become anything serious. Right?

Dax

I'm not particularly good with women. They find my sense of humor weird, my friends too loud, my personality a bit much.

I guess being a hopeless romantic and shooting straight isn't what women want.

It's fine, it's not like I'm actively looking. But, I also am never one to let an opportunity pass me by. The new nurse at the hospital is gorgeous and sassy, and God, there's just something about her. Something that makes me want to keep her safe and protected in my arms.

Nothing ever happens overnight, but she is the kind of person worth defending.

Will she ever give us a chance to build something together?

?WARNING: The Fort Balerno Series is addictive! Be prepared to stay up until 3am reading about steamy passion in a small Western town, a tight-knit group of smokin' hot protective military alphas and their feisty heroines!?


Reviews

????? "This is not a fast love story as the others are but this one moves just at the right pace for this story. Will Kayla be able to give Dax the relationship they both want? Grab this and the other books in the series and check them all out and fall in love with these ex-military men."

????? "I like how this built slowly and you can feel the relationship grow. The ex is a holding Kayla back. I thought this was written well and the story flowed really well. This is a great story, I hope there will be more. Fabulous!"

????? "Jean Stokes has written a 5-star book. Can Dax prove to Kayla that he is nothing like Jacob and get his girl? This was a wonderful book and I would recommend this book to anyone."


Author Notes
This is one of the heart-melting Fort Balerno romance stories about a tight-knit group of protective military veterans alphas in a small-town Western setting with independent heroines, high-adrenaline suspense, a dash of humor, no cheating and a guaranteed happily ever after in each book! There is a healthy dose of smokin' hot steamy scenes, no cliffhangers and each can be read standalone but is ideally read along with the rest of the series as you will love the characters and want to find out what happens to them!

Steam alert: 18+ only: I don't want your angry vigilante mama after me! If you aren't eighteen then go read Harry Potter, mind your language and eat your broccoli. But do come back when you hit eighteen and buy this book! This story contains mature themes and language intended for 18+ readers only.
