The Veteran - A Rivers

My home is trashed, my roommate is dead, and the police seem to think I was the intended target. No one should have a grudge against a meditation-loving yoga teacher, but factor in my bank-robbing father's missing fortune, and things get sticky.

Now, gruff giant Kade Campbell is determined to protect me. The rugged former special forces soldier may be a badass—and able to give me butterflies like nobody's business—but I don't want him putting himself in danger for my sake.

The last eight years have been a lesson in collateral damage, and Kade's life isn't a price I'm willing to pay for my own safety. But he's just as stubborn as I am, and soon our lives aren't the only things on the line—our hearts are too.
