Roger Michael Easton IV, better known as Rowdy, flouted the
family's Naval tradition to enlist in the Marines—not as an
officer, but a ground pounding grunt. He never expected to
see as much combat or valor as he did in the field, but
every engagement furthered his commitment to his brothers in
arms. Now, with an early offer on the table to end his
contract, Rowdy has to take a long look at the life he left
behind, the life he's built, and the future he longs to have.
Rowdy also wants a woman who gets him.
Inactive Marine, Kim Wakefield, continues to serve her
country as a Naval Criminal Investigator. She's hard on the
grunts and sailors because she is one of them—and they
didn't sign up for easy. Tired of the seedier side of
military life—picking up drunk Marines, AWOL sailors,
busting drug running operations, or worse, sending drug
addicted servicemen to court marshal and treatment, she
longs to have her faith in her fellow Marines restored.
Kim wants a man who knows what she needs.
Thrown together by chance on a 1Night Stand, the jarheads
have a combustible chemistry—but do they have what it takes
to give each other what they want?
