Veteran K9 Team

What happens when the guy fostering my dog while I'm deployed turns out to be my one-night-stand from the night before I left town? Prior to leaving town for a military assignment, I had the best sex of my life with a guy whose name I never got. Now I'm home, sleeping in with my husky who was kenneled during my six-month deployment, and waking up to an angry phone call from a guy claiming to have my escape artist of a dog. Coincidently, he's the guy who took care of her while I was gone. Imagine my surprise when I walk the couple of blocks and come face to face with the guy who rocked my world and starred center stage in my fantasies for the last one-hundred and eighty days of my monotonous life. Something about him feels like home. I knew it the night we met and kicked myself for not exchanging information. Now, I have a second-chance, but after another amazing night together he ghosts memuch like I did to him six months agoand I'm left heartbroken, falling faster than I should have for the sexy man who feels perfect for me. Can I blame him for putting on the brakes? And if not, how much time do I give him to realize we're perfect for each other?

What happens when the confirmed bachelor and K9 veteran falls for the one woman who has no intentions of ever settling down? Sure, he has biceps the size of my thick thighs and a rugged lumberjack exterior that satisfies all of my fantasies about climbing a man like a tree, but I'm not looking for a relationshipespecially with a confirmed bachelor. Besides, I'm also happily single and don't plan to change that. Ever. Maybe its my hyper independence that keeps me firmly in bachelorette territory Or maybe its that every relationship in my family has devolved into a bitter, messy divorce and turned those of us within blast radius into jaded bystanders. Still, Michael Kemp is fun to play with. I crave him like a puppy craves a treat. We can mess around and enjoy each other until something else comes along, right? Even if I do catch feelings, he never has to know. So why do I feel like hes the one who not only caught feelings, but is ready to walk down the aisle? Is it the lusty haze and afterglow of our red hot attraction making him believe he feels things for me that he cant possibly feel? Is that also what makes me feel like I cant breathe when were apart? I have to call off whatever this is before one of us gets hurt, only hes not making it easy. He says we fit together inexplicably. He says he craves my touch, my time, my insatiable spirit. He says Im his. But can I accept that he is mine?

What happens when the Arizona girl takes ski lessons from the super hot veteran almost twice her age? Born and raised in Arizona, Ive never played in the snow before, much less strapped two death sticks to my feet and thrown myself down a mountain sidebut now that Ive accepted a position in Spring City, Colorado, I feel like its time to learn. The overcast skies are less than inviting, and Im about to skip my lesson when a sexy silver fox introduces himself as my instructor. Suddenly Im excited to spend an hour on my ass in the snowwhich is exactly how my lesson goes until the winds pick up and the search & rescue team clears the mountain. Now Im tucked safely indoors sipping hot cocoa with my sexy instructor and his sweet Shepherd while his buddy travels up the mountain to search for my mom. When I know she is safealbeit trapped in a mountain chalet until the storm blows overI have no reason not to give into the insane attraction pulling me into the arms of Barron Theroux. Is this a vacation thing or will this continue once the blizzard passes over and we return to our lives in Spring City? Barron says Im his to care for. His to possess. After one night in his arms, I might believe him.

What happens when the search & rescue veteran and his K9 get trapped in a remote mountain chalet with a gorgeous older woman from Arizona during a freak blizzard? My first time on a ski slope in twenty years, I overestimated my abilities and got lost in a blizzard that hit the mountaintop faster than anyone expected. Trapped in the trees with a twisted knee and zero visibility, Im quickly losing consciousness when an insistent wet nose and a pair of strong arms save me. Now Im in a mountain cabin in front of a roaring fire and a muscle bound shirtless man who insists on getting me naked. Too bad its merely to save me from hypothermia and nothing else. Or is it? Linc is the sexiest man to ever put his hands on me. Even though hes barely a few years older than my daughter, our age difference doesnt deter him in seducing me at all. Charmingly sweet, supremely confident, and intent on adoring every inch of me, he is out of a romance novel (or maybe a porn), but either way, I grab hold of this opportunity with both hands and let him show me pleasure I didnt know my body was capable of. Literally. When the question of his manwhoring past is brought to the forefront, I have to remind myself that this is nothing more than one amazing night born of proximity, anxiety, and convenience. I cant expect a relationship with a man fifteen years my junior who lives in another state, and any fanciful dreams I had last night in the throes of orgasmic ecstasy must be forgotten. Linc doesnt agree and refuses to let me ghost him, promising if I do, hell find and give me the spankings I desperately need. He says Im his to adore, and hes never letting me go. After one night away from the mountain and back in Spring City, I might believe him.

What happens when the veteranwho is secretly from a famous and affluent Hollywood familycovets a dog treat baker whose ex-fiance uses money to control her? For the last six years, I've kept the truth about my family away from the men and women I met while serving in the US Army. What they don't know is I'm the youngest son (and black sheep) of an old money, high powered, Hollywood family. I never wanted the life they crave, and it was either the Army, jail, or a pine box, if I had continued down the reckless path I was on as a teenager. Now I'm separating from the military and looking at the next phase of my life, which I hope includes investing in the Veteran K9 Center in Spring City, Colorado. The men working at this facility have been my family since graduating high school, and their influences are what I think I need in my future. And then I meet Tess---a beautiful bartender with a dream of starting a doggie bakery. That's a dream I can help make a reality with my inheritance, and I don't even have to tell anyone where it came from. All I have to do is go home and meet with the lawyer to release my trust fund so I can invest in what I hope will be my future. Our future. Only my mother has no intention of not getting her way, which leaves me with a choice to make... Do I go back to Hollywood to earn my money the family way? Or start my life penniless in Colorado? Once Tess learns the truth about me, will she stand by me either way?

What happens when your best friends little sister silences all your demons? Eight months ago, I lost my big brotherthe last of my familywhile he was deployed with the Army. Now, as Christmas approaches, Im feeling anything other than festive. If I had a boyfriend or a puppy to occupy my mind, maybe it wouldnt be so bad. Instead, Ive resigned myself to losing the thirty pounds of grief weight Ive put on and avoiding all holiday cheer on TV. Thats where my mind is when I catch a hot, muscular man checking me out while waiting for the elevator in my building. His lingering eyes and then busted blush dotting his cheeks charms me, giving my exhausted ego a small boost. Ive never seen him before, but Im intrigued when he selects my floor. Who is he visiting? Is there a supermodel I havent met living in my building? Is he my new neighbor? When were trapped in a stalled elevator between the fifth and sixth floors, I quickly learn that my sexy admirer has PTSD as he clutches me to him while having a panic attack. Talking him through it, I soothe his anxiety until were chatting like old friends. Thats when I learn who he is and why hes in my building: my brothers best friend, a soldier who was with Chad the day he died, and hes here for me. Liam Bishop is as broken and empty as I am, but as he shares the side of my brothers life that Chad kept hidden from metogether, we find peace. In his arms, I feel worshiped and alive. Happy, satiated, and almost whole. And part of me thinks he was divinely delivered by my late brother. When he takes me to his parents house for Christmas, I think I have found the sense of family Ive lost over the years, because in Bishop I feel like Im home. After so much heartbreak, can I trust the universe has finally brought me the peace and love I desperately want and need?

What happens when the veteran K9 handler goes to Texas to protect his deployed battle buddy's sister from men intent on taking the family bar? My brother is an overbearing asshat who wants to control my life without actually being a part of my life. What's worse? He successfully does it from seven thousand miles away where I can't get into his face and unleash ten years of anger and frustration. Instead he sends the hottest man to ever grace our pissant town to butt into my business, which currently includes two very dangerous men intent on buying my roadside bar-which is not for sale. Karden Billings might be a badass military K9 handler, but he doesn't want or need my special brand of problems. Still, since he's here, I see no reason not to seduce a night of pleasure out of my brother's best friend and then send him on his way. That'll be a twofer for me. One, I'll get a couple of mind-blowing orgasms out of it, and two, it'll piss Saint off. Win-Win. Except, Karden sees through my BS and has the kind of control I lack, refusing to leave town without me no matter how many sexual innuendos I throw his way. After he meets the men threatening me, he's even more determined to protect me-even from myself. He wants to make me his, but demands one thing from me-a promise I'm not sure I can keep, especially when my brother Saint comes home. When the inevitable fight breaks out between my brother and me, I'm wondering who Karden will choose. His best friend or the woman he claims to love?

What happens when the one woman you've loved for the last ten years runs out of excuses as to why you can't be together? Ive been in love with a man I couldnt claim as my own for ten years. Instead of giving into my hearts desire, I broke his and married another. Now, Im divorced and the owner / operator of a kennel catering to military members. Ive recruited most of the K9 handlers I served withall of whom are now veteransto come partner with me as we build a premier working dog training facility. Last recruit on my list: the man whose love I refused. Our on again / off again affair was a secret, or so we thought. To say there is tension in the office is an understatement, but I hope Saint takes solace in my self-imposed misery. Truthfully, I got more pain than I deserved, and while Ill never be able to take back the heartache I caused him, I can offer him the opportunity to be part of something bigger than all of us. He should hate me. I certainly do and have the scarsinternally and externallyto prove it. Except, he says he not only doesnt hate me, but still wants me. After all of these years, all this pain, I dont understand why, but Ive run out of excuses as to why we cant be together and he knows it. Maybe Im heading into an emotional trap, one where he exacts his revenge by making me fall in love with him so he can break my heart? Jokes on him, I never stopped loving him. If admitting my feelings gives him the closure he needs to let go of his lifelong demons and start this next phase with a clean slate, I guess thats what Ill have to do. If it destroys me in the process, so be it. The possibility terrifies me, but letting him love me scares me even more. He says he treasures me, but can I be the prize he says I am?
