I’m pulling up roots and taking my little girl to Lonesome to start a new job working for my dead husband’s former teammates. We want to leave the past behind, but trouble seems to have followed us. Deacon was always a good friend to the family, but can the hot former SEAL be even more now? When I offered a job to my best friend’s widow, I told myself I could handle working next to her every day. I lied. I barely stayed away from Violet when she was married. Now she and her daughter are here, alone, and they need someone to take care of them. Nobody can do that like I can. She just needs to survive the move. If you're looking for a single mom, best friend’s widow, woman in peril romance, you've found it.

I came to Lonesome to guest host a romance book club and visit some old friends. I didn’t expect to have Tall, Dark and Cranky come to my rescue when I have to hide from a fan in his junkyard. Now I can’t leave town until I thank JD properly. I haven’t found the right form of appreciation yet. But I will. I only helped her to get her off my property. But she keeps thanking me, and every time she does, she sneaks a little farther under my defences. Rhiannon is so damn sweet I can’t tell her to leave. She’ll have to find out the hard way that I’m too broken to be the one for her. No matter how much I wish I was. If you're looking for a grumpy/sunshine, wounded warrior, obsessed fan romance, you've found it.
