For military wife Kennedy Flanagan, starting over had not been easy. Learning to let go after the tragic killing of her Navy Seal husband proved to be mission impossible. But after five long years and countless hours of tears and healing, Kennedy's moved on. KIA? No. Liam Flanagan is alive! A Special Ops team uncovers the bunker he was held prisoner in. Five years is a long time. Soon life deals another blow. His wife has remarried and his daughter calling a man he hates daddy.
Eric ex Navy Seal and best friend to Liam has a secret desire. The young and beautiful Harper. Problem is, she's forbidden. Not just her youth but a oath of brotherhood from a man he'd lay his life on the line for keeps her beyond his reach. Harper now 18 will not be denied. Can Eric resist his greatest temptation? And at what cost?
“I kept it, Liam. I could never part with it.” Liam looked up at her. “You kept your wedding ring?” She lifted to her right elbow. “We never shared or came close to the levels of intimacy you and I have. Do you understand? I’m still your Kay. That hasn’t changed. But Liam, you have to let the jealousy go. We have so much more to fight to overcome. You did what you had to in that desert to survive, and I did what I had to, to be sane for us both. We did it and we’re together. Okay?”
Harper - Kennedy's baby sister. She wants one man. Her Navy Seal hero who can't see she's all grown up. Liam's returned from war and it brings Eric home as well. Can she convince him his desires for her are real. And if she does, will it bring her all she's dreamed for or the familiar heartbreak her sister suffered?
Kennedy wanted to die. She looked up into the bluest eyes she’d ever seen. She never approached boys, and despite Sierra’s worldly influence, remained so inexperienced she didn’t even know what her type was, if she had one. But one look into Liam’s sparkling eyes and she knew he could definitely be the one for her. “You still haven’t told me your name.” “Um, Kennedy.” “Cool, but you’re too pretty to be a Kennedy. I think I’m going to call you Kay.”
All he wanted to know was when he’d hold his wife and meet his child. Why the fuck wouldn’t anyone tell him that much? So he closed his eyes and conjured Kennedy’s face. It soothed him. Soon he was able to create an image of little Mackenzie. He saw her clearly. He opened his mouth and pushed on his vocal chords. After a few tries, two words formed. He was able to exhale and rush them out in a hoarse whisper: before sunrise.
Liam’s gaze switched to an image of Kennedy. She held a small girl. His breath caught. The girl looked to be no more than three. She was more hair than anything, just like his sweet Kennedy. They grinned at the camera, for him. Liam let go the first genuine smile he’d given in five long years. He’d just met his baby girl, and her name was Mackenzie. He wiped his hand down his face and blinked to be sure the vision was real. It had to be. No dream ever felt so vivid.
“I love you.” And she did. She cupped his cheek, staring him in the eyes. Their lips, like magnets, were instantly drawn to each other. The spark of Liam’s urgent need, his probing tongue, sent her head to swimming. He ran his calloused fingers down her back and she shivered through her robe. The night felt comfortably warm all of a sudden, or was that her blood? She was well practiced at this. The kiss became flicks of her tongue against his and nips to his succulent lips and she surrendered.
We think you’ll love these
