One summer changed everything.
Dee
One night.
One decision.
Taking chances isn’t a new concept to me, but I’ve never been one to take a chance on love. Michael changes all of that. No more party girl, no more one-night stands. I fall hard for the cerulean-eyed sex god who shows me what it’s like to truly be cherished and loved.
Only, I’m not sure how long it can last.
Michael
I knew the moment I met Dee that she was trouble. But when she unexpectedly opens up to me the night we meet, I realize she’s the only person who could change how I think about relationships, how I feel, and how I look at life. She’s a fiery, spontaneous woman who challenges me at every turn. I should let her go. But I don’t think I want to.
But right now my career won’t allow me to be the kind of man she deserves.
And Dee doesn’t trust herself or my love for her.
If I’m going to keep her, I have to let her walk away, as much as it pains me to my core.
Yes, it sounds crazy and it might just backfire, but if my plan pays off, we’ll both stop running and finally realize how much we need each other, how our hearts were made for each other.

One look is all it takes to change everything.
Cat
I’ve been the black sheep of the family my entire life, so I’m looking forward to this fresh start. My new independent life. My job and new friends are great and I’m finding happiness. Then I met Brax–the gorgeous soldier with huge muscles. A sweet, gentle guy that adores his autistic sister. Bonus he draws! Oh, and he’s completely off-limits, thanks to my overprotective brother, Mike who’s Brax’s first sergeant and one of his closest friends. Will he chase Brax away like he’s done my entire life?
Brax
To protect and serve: it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. Being a model soldier has been my life’s dream, there’s nothing better than completing Airborne jumps or repelling out of helicopters, or base jumping. But then I met Cat, the little pixie artist who stole my heart and schooled me on pencils. Somehow, she slows me down–calms me. Now, all I want to do is be with her, but there’s just one problem–her brother is my first sergeant and one of my closest friends. I’ll have to choose between being the perfect soldier for my unit… or being her perfect partner.

One moment changed their lives.
Ivy
I’ve harbored a secret crush on Grant ever since that freckle-faced kid first set foot in our yard when I was six. I knew he was special. Grant has always had this uncanny ability to understand me on a soul-deep level, yet I’ve kept my feelings hidden, knowing he’s not just my brother’s best friend but also my rock. He’s the one who keeps me steady, soothing me when the chaos of life threatens to overwhelm me. Grant is my true north. Until we cross that line.
As the line blurs between friendship and something more, I’m left grappling with a daunting question: Is he worth the gamble of disrupting the delicate balance of our friendship and the stability we’ve carefully built together?
Grant
I’d do anything for Ivy Rose, but even I have my limits. I’ve tried everything to show her how I feel. Helping her raise her son? Done. Starting a friends-with-benefits arrangement? Maybe not my best idea. Admitting I want to spend my life with her? Definitely the scariest thing I’ve ever done. Then the unthinkable happens, turning our world upside down. I’m hurt, angry, and that’s when I need her the most.
Can I put my anger aside and forgive her, or will we be stuck in limbo forever? Our friendship might be on the line, but my heart tells me Ivy is worth the risk.
