When my parents passed, leaving my siblings and me completely alone in the world, I was broken—thrown down a path of reckless decisions. Seven years later, I was finally gaining solid ground. The bold attitude I'd held for most of my life had been shaken but not shattered. Except when it came to matters of the heart. As my mating heat approaches, I'm faced with the daunting task of finding a mate—of choosing one out of the four men that have stolen my heart.

I've survived war zones, black-ops missions, and the loss of team members. Now my orders are simple: follow Allegra Simpson on her three-week research trek through the mountains, stay invisible, and keep her safe. Easy enough, until I discover she's not the pampered princess I expected. She's brilliant. Stubborn. Gorgeous. A scientist determined to prove her research matters. And every step I take behind her feels less like a job and more like temptation.

They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron's Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked.

When I took my friend's offer of cheap rent for my five-year-old son and me, I knew it came with a reclusive neighbor attached. I just didn't realize he's the same guy I adored from afar fifteen years ago. Back then, Ian was all smiles and flirty banter, and my teenage heart couldn't help but fall. Now? He's a grouch who's more likely to glare at me than accept my neighborly offers of fresh cupcakes from my bakery. This version of Ian wouldn't know flirty banter if it bit him in the man bun.
