Tossing It

He's great at following orders... until she breaks all his rules.

Leif Andersson 

SEAL. Fighter. Master of keeping people at arm's length. After years hunting terrorists and living by the book, I need out-of the noise, the war, the weight of everything I've seen. Bronze Bay, Florida, is supposed to be simple. Quiet town. New SEAL base. No drama. No strings.

Then I meet Malena Winterset-beautiful, busy, and exactly the kind of complicated I don't do. So I set the rules: two forms of birth control, don't leave anything at my place, never meet my family, and don't fall in love. Easy enough... until it isn't.

My life is full-just not the kind of full that leaves room for dating. I plan town events, work at the general store, and care for my mother as dementia slowly takes her away. My dad bailed when things got hard. I stayed.

Then Leif walks in-gorgeous, guarded, and impossible to ignore. I know better than to get involved with a man who makes rules like that... but life has a way of making you break them. Three of his four rules? Already shattered. And the fallout is more than either of us saw coming.

Sometimes, love doesn't follow the rules.
