From USA Today Bestselling Author, Amy Lamont,
comes a sexy new standalone novel about a hard-hearted Marine and the woman he
vowed to hate before he ever set eyes on her.
Losing her
fiancé in Army combat nearly killed her, but a cocky Marine could save her…
Pastry chef
Mandy Palmer is living on autopilot after the death of her fiancé. Her
grandmother’s plea for help offers the sense of purpose she desperately needs.
Still, rejoining the living doesn’t mean she’s ready to give her heart to the
hunky Marine working by her side to repair her grandmother’s house. She knows
better than to risk loving a military man again.
According
to helicopter pilot Mitch Taylor, military life and marriage don’t mix. He
watched too many of his buddies’ relationships crash and burn to ever consider
trying it himself. Of course, when Mandy starts getting under his skin in ways
he can’t ignore, he starts questioning his standard operating procedure.
Convincing her to give love a second chance is hard enough.
What would it take for her to love an active
duty Marine?

Excerpt
Mitch
dropped his arms from the doorway and took two steps forward. He placed a large
hand on her upper arm. “Looks like everything is under control in the kitchen,
too. You caught it in time to prevent any lasting damage.”
She was
sure he meant to be reassuring. But the moment his hand made contact, warmth
slid over her skin, moving out from the spot where they were connected to spots
much further south.
This was
not reassuring. This was not comforting. It was the opposite of comforting.
Disconcerting. Disconcerting enough to make her pulse pick up its pace and her
toes to curl inside her old sneakers.
Her gaze
traveled from his face down to where his hand kept them connected. How could
such a simple, friendly gesture throw her so off balance? She moved her
attention back to his face.
Uh oh.
Gone was
the soft, warm look he’d had since they finished working together. His eyes
darkened to an almost stormy gray and focused on her face with the precision of
a laser. Her lips parted slightly and the intensity of his expression made a
fine tremor go through her.
As if he’d
been waiting for just that subtle sign, Mitch shifted forward. His hand moved
up from his supportive touch on her arm to cup her shoulder. The small shift
brought their bodies into closer contact. They stood with only a few inches
between them.
Mandy’s
breath came faster. Six thousand and two objections formed and dissolved
without ever making it to her lips. When she finally opened her mouth to give
voice to one of the many reasons they shouldn’t be doing...well, whatever it
was they were doing, Mitch closed the distance and crashed his lips down on
hers.
This was no
gentle, slow meeting of the lips. Mitch ravished her mouth from the get-go,
slanting his lips over hers, tongue demanding entrance.
