Xander was a tough Navy SEAL, one of the toughest. When his tour was over, and he was sent home, he found that having nothing, or no one to come home to, was just fine with him. He secluded himself from people, from love, and kept to himself in the mountains of Bethel Maine. When the winter storm took a bad turn, he found himself struggling with his PTSD, and then to make matters worse, a wounded hiker ended up laid up in his cabin until the storm passed. She was beautiful, mysterious, but he couldn’t wait until he could get her back down the mountain and out of his life. Bailey was a school teacher, a caretaker for her sick father, and an all-around sweet girl. She devoted her life to helping others, so it was quite the surprise when she found herself the one who needed help. Hurt on the trail, a storm blasting through violently that she’d not known about, and now this man, long golden hair, goatee and covered in scruff, was carrying her up the mountain, not down. She couldn’t remember anything, not even her name. How was she ever going to get home, and where was home? SEAL Dearest is an 80,000 word standalone Navy SEAL romance with a HEA and no cheating.
