Older Alpha Military Man, Curvy Younger Woman Maya I've had my heart broken one too many times, and I've done the thing where you swear off men. All I need is my friends, my books, and my dog. A day at the dog park turns into a chance encounter when a sexy soldier-type turns out to be my newly adopted pup's trainer. He's gorgeous, charming, and...not the one for me. I saw how the military destroyed my sister's relationship, and I won't go through that again. Kang Outside of my work in Alpha Force Elite, keeping the world safe, I train dogs for the military, for police, and for anyone who wants to help their furry friend succeed. A routine appointment gives me the shock of my life when the most beautiful, curvy woman shows up with her adorable puppy. She's everything I want in a woman, but she's keeping me at arm's length. I'm deploying in a couple of weeks, and I need to go into danger knowing I have her heart...and I'll stop at nothing to win it.
