A grumpy ex-SEAL single dad. A Hollywood starlet with a stalker. And one reckless night that changes everything…

AVA

There are men I know to avoid.

Harrison Evans is the poster boy for them.

Gruff. Protective. Unapologetically male. The kind of gorgeous that comes wrapped in barbed wire and a warning label.

So naturally, I let him ruin me for one reckless, desperate night.

One night that should’ve been enough.

Except now he’s everywhere.

The coffee shop. The grocery store. The hallway outside my penthouse.

Coincidence? I think not.

Avoiding him? Impossible.

Especially when Harrison comes with three heartbreakingly lovable kids and a protective streak that makes me feel safer than I have in years.

But no matter how hard I try to keep my distance, Harrison Evans seems determined to become part of my life.

HARRISON

One night.

That’s all it was supposed to be.

Except there’s one problem.

A man I owe my life to just asked for a favor: protect his little sister, Ava. Without her knowing.

Fine. Easy enough.

Except there are rules.

One: Don’t get attached.

Two: Don’t stare, which is damn near impossible with those pouty lips.

Three: Never repeat the best night of my damn life. It’s called a one-night stand for a reason. The clue is in the name.

But between Ava’s stalker, my kids trying to adopt her, and the possessive ache in my chest every time another man looks at her…

The closer I get to her, the harder she is to resist.

I’ve survived war.

I’ve survived heartbreak.

But Ava Alvarez?

This woman could absolutely destroy me.
