From bestselling author Jean Stokes…❤️A woman setting out on her own…A hopeless romantic. A dangerous scorned lover.❤️

I left everything behind to start a new life in Fort Balerno. I need to take time for myself, to figure out what it is that I want, and what will make me happy.

The problem is people’s pasts have a way of catching up to them. Even though I told my ex it was over, he still keeps threatening to come find me and bring me home.

I’m used to being alone, so it’s not like I’m missing out on anything, even when a gorgeous ex-Marine falls right into my life and promises me everything I didn’t know I was missing.

I can’t afford to get chained down again. I need to fly free.

Being with Dax won’t become anything serious. Right?

I’m not particularly good with women. They find my sense of humor weird, my friends too loud, my personality a bit much.

I guess being a hopeless romantic and shooting straight isn’t what women want.

It’s fine, it’s not like I’m actively looking. But, I also am never one to let an opportunity pass me by. The new nurse at the hospital is gorgeous and sassy, and God, there’s just something about her. Something that makes me want to keep her safe and protected in my arms.

Nothing ever happens overnight, but she is the kind of person worth defending.

Will she ever give us a chance to build something together?
