BLURB:
Dr.
Arabella Stanton is back in Havenbrook, California, seeking a break from her
work with Doctors Without Borders. Exhausted and haunted by memories of the
refugee camps, she finds solace in the familiar yet changed landscape of her
grandmother’s old town. She plans to rest, recuperate, and plan out her next
steps—until a persistent knock at her door changes everything.
Garret
de la Rosa, a Navy SEAL with his own shadows from missions past, is back in
Havenbrook to recover and find some peace. When a mutual friend brings Arabella
to his door, he’s bleeding from an injury, and neither expects the connection
that sparks between them.
As
Arabella and Garret navigate their growing attraction, they also face their
personal demons and the reality that their lives are on different paths. Amidst
the tranquil beauty of Havenbrook, they find themselves questioning their
futures and what they truly want.

EXCERPT
“You’re
bleeding,” Arabella said and lifted his shirt. “You really shouldn’t say no.”
She looked at the bandage and lifted the edges. Probably pulled stiches.
“Please remove your shirt.”
Garret’s sinful
stare met hers. “Usually there’s a second date before we get that far.”
“God, these two
have the same sense of humor,” Tristan muttered.
Garret flashed
her a grin but complied. She kept her cool doctorial composure as he lifted the
gray material over his head and didn’t stare.
“When I’m
working, I don’t have a sense of humor,” she shot back and examined the area.
“Sit down,” she ordered Garret.
He did so
without a word and she peeled back the bandage. Bandages. Plural. It looked as
if a doctor taped one gauze over Garret’s stitches, then Garret added another
layer. No, he added two layers.
Arabella was
mildly surprised he hadn’t used duct tape.
“Yeah, popped a
few stitches. I’ll need to close it up.” She gathered her supplies, the suture
and thread. “So, can you tell me how you got that?” Arabella nodded to his
side. “Or is this a case of ‘If I tell you, I’ll have to lock you up in a
dungeon?”
His lips
quirked in a sexy little half-grin, and his eyes sparkled with laughter. “It’s
the dungeon.”
…
It sent a
thrill of arousal through her, and her heart tripped over itself. She thought
she’d imagined it earlier, but it seemed she hadn’t, even she knew when a man
was interested in her. Slightly unnerved, Arabella wondered why a SEAL, a man
who looked like Garret, would be interested in her.
