No amount of military training can prepare you to fight for love.

Beautiful. Intoxicating. Utterly forbidden.

Years ago, when I first laid eyes on Beth, I wanted her more than I've ever wanted anyone. But she's my best friend's little sister, and there are some boundaries even I won't cross. I forced myself to spurn her advances, even though I hated doing it.

And I never forgot her – or the hatred blazing in her beautiful eyes when she walked away from me.

I didn't expect to see her again. Nor was I prepared for the desperate desire she'd ignite in me. I crave her. Want her. Need her.

I can't stay away from her this time. Not when her touch mends all my broken pieces.

She doesn't trust me to stick around but I'll do whatever it takes to prove my devotion. After all, I thrive on adversity. And I'll draw on every ounce of strength I possess to win her heart because now I'm convinced:

She was always meant to be mine.

Grab this steamy, forbidden, stand-alone romance where a Navy SEAL falls for his best friend's sister, as they face an attraction they cannot deny.
