The first time Courtland Navarro saw Charleigh Lynn Kensington, she was yelling at her old boss about a yeast infection.
Court didn't know that his heart could even beat after the loss of his late wife, but in that moment, when she was yelling about a bladder infection from hell, he realized that maybe he hadn't died inside after all.
The second time he saw her, he was protecting her from herself.
The big—actually quite small—bad—more like a pissed‑off Chihuahua—Marine thought she could handle herself. And honestly, she might have been able to. But she was five‑foot‑nothing, had crazy blonde hair, and looked like one hell of an easy target.
To say that they got off on the wrong foot would be an understatement.
Then, searching for something to do with his life after getting out of prison, he finds a mechanic shop for sale. So he buys it.
Little did he know that Charleigh had wanted that shop.
And now she had even more reason to hate him.
She tries her hardest to hold on to the anger, the utter dislike of all things Court Navarro. But Charleigh doesn't stand a chance.
Court has set his sights on her, and there's nothing that she can do but surrender.
