Cole “Iron” Maxton is tough, unbreakable, and combat-ready. Nothing bothers this Marine Corporal — not even his assignment with Marines Special Task Force. Until one night on leave back on base,a random encounter at a bar shatters that tough Marine exterior. He meets a woman he cannot forget. Now, he’s bothered.
Isis Jennings is shocked when the handsome, curly haired Marine comes to her rescue to shove some unwanted attention away. When she bumps into him outside the bar, sparks fly, and it leads to one night of scorching passion before Cole deploys. For one night only.
Only that scorching passion doesn’t end when they leave the motel the next morning. Something significant lingered, including a budding romance neither expected . . . yet both Cole and Isis are shocked at just how tethered they are from that one night when it catches up to them.
