After a training exercise gone wrong left me injured, I opted out of receiving meals during my recovery because I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Little did I know, refusing Summer Applegate wasn't an option.

This woman is a menace. A nurse by trade and a cook by passion, she will force-feed you sunshine whether you like it or not. But apparently she's also just as stubborn as I am, and she won't go down without a fight.

At first, I want nothing to do with it. But then her cheerful determination starts to wear me down, and I begin thinking she might just be the sunshine my storm cloud needs.

But I've lost everyone else. Can I really risk letting her in only to inevitably lose her?

The Bright Side of Brooding is book four in the OCONUS Bonus series, but can be read as a standalone. It's a dual point of view romance told in first person that will give you all the sizzle and heat but keep it sweet.
