In this Protective Alpha Hero & Curvy Girl Military Romance Tough and taciturn Truman Cox has seen too much, done too much. He doesn’t think something that could pull him out his darkness really exists… until he meets Ivy. 31-year-old Truman Cox doesn’t really like the glitz and the glamour of the business world, he’s a real man with a Marine past that weighs heavily on his shoulders, but he cares about his family’s company too much not to be involved in it and as the Head of Security he feels his duty to keep everybody safe keenly. His life is one of responsibilities and too many bad memories, but then one day he lays eyes on Ivy and all his priorities change: protecting her, keeping her safe, even from himself, is of the essence. No way he’ll taint her with the ugliness of his past: he’d rather not have her at all than ruin her. 22-year-old Ivy Cooper is a sweet and shy graphic designer that spends more time sketching than she ever does living. She’s new to Philly and to love, until she meets Truman and he pierces her heart, making her feel like she really belongs, but he won’t do anything about it. There’s an invisible barrier keeping them apart and she’s not going to stop until she breaks through and she’s about to do just that. Truman has been falling for Ivy since he met her, but it’s on the Fourth that he falls for good, finally hitting the ground, and once he has her in his arms, there’s no going back, she will make sure of that. Dear Reader: Will they/won’t they might be the behind-the-scenes of this story, but once they get too close all bets are off. This steamy novella is pure sugary-smut and the epitome of adorable: there’s NO-cheating, no OW/OM drama and it’s HEA-guaranteed. It’s a totally inappropriate, quick and explosive ride that will light up your summer sky with a tall dark and handsome protective alpha that also has a beard—you’re welcome!— a sweet curvy redhead, desperate to pull her man out of his dark place, and more heat than should be allowed! Warning: This Fourth of July there are going to be fireworks all right, but not just the usual kind! These two are going to see stars and so will you! *Please note that ‘Red, White & Hers’ is part of the ‘Falling on the Fourth’ series, each one of the 4 novellas focuses only on one couple and there are no cliffhangers so the books can be read in any order and also as standalones.
