Avenged by Love

When a broody military man and a quiet bookstore clerk share a house, more than attraction flares. Watching her suffer in silence has him extending her the only help he can-a marriage of convenience to give her the insurance she needs. I'm finally getting my Coast Guard career back on track after mistakes that weren't mine derailed it. I'll be in New London just long enough to earn my next post. I refuse to start a romance with the woman two doors down, no matter how much Jersey Banner's quiet beauty calls to me. Travis Dayton has an alter ego just like the superheroes I adore, broody military man by day and smooth charmer by night. But I can't afford to be taken in by his wide smile, not when I'm barely keeping my family afloat with my dad in jail. Until he finds me writhing in pain and everything changes. After taking Jersey to the emergency room, I discover she's denied herself medical care because she can't afford it. Desperate to help, I do the only thing I can think of-I marry her. We both know it's temporary. We both know our real lives will never fit. Until I kiss my wife and realize nothing else really matters but her. "You don't have to fight the world alone. You've got me."Inspired by Lady A's "Ocean," this soul-tugging, slow-burn romance is full of vibrant characters, emotional journeys, and happiness you'll feel in your bones.
