Former SEAL sniper Cody Roberts
has
returned from
Afghanistan with too many demons and a simple wish: to be
left alone. Working for K2 Special Services, caring for the
war dogs he rescued, playing his guitar—that’s all he wants
to do. But Cody is as protective as his nickname, “Dog,”
suggests. A man like that can’t sit back when he realizes
the beautiful veterinarian next door is being targeted by an
unknown enemy.
Riley Austin is desperate to find out
who’s poisoning her
animal patients, and she’s stunned by her mysterious
neighbor’s suggestion that it’s personal. But Cody makes her
feel something else, too: a powerful attraction. He insists
he’s no good for her, but those haunted eyes and that
chiseled body tell Riley that surrendering to their mutual
lust is worth the risk. And despite his conditions—no
falling for each other, no regrets once it’s over—she’ll
fight to love him just as fiercely as he’ll fight to save
her.
