Summer of Déjà Brew (Seasons in Montana: Summer #5)

She doesnt remember theyve met and almost crossed lines. He never forgot. Now shes in his housewith one bed, a kid to care for, and a secret hes desperate to keep.

SLOANE

I swore off bad boys years agoespecially ones who look like sin and carry secrets. Been there, married that and left to save myself and the daughter Id do anything for. Now, Im working at my best friends coffeeshop, crashing at her brothers pad, and focused on giving my girl the childhood I never had.

But when Travis suddenly turns upbig, bruised, and a bit brokenI feel drawn to this tempting, too familiar ex-soldier. Resisting him is hard when he makes me melt with just a look and offers to watch my daughter while I work. Playing house with a battle-scarred hero isnt how I thought Id spend the summer, but our arrangement is temporary.

So long as I can keep my hands and my heart to myself.

TRAVIS

Ive chased danger my whole lifetaken high-stakes risks, undercover assignments, and dodged speeding bullets. But nothings ever struck me like her. One look, one touch, one night when we almost crossed a line. Then, I watched her marry the target I was tasked to take down.

Years later, Im home, recuperating and reconsidering my life. I never expect to find my dream divorcee living in my house, courtesy of my soft-hearted sister. Sloane doesnt recognize me, but I remember every detail about her and the pull between us is still strong. I should tell her the truth, but Im afraid shell stop looking at me the way she doesas someone steady, stable, safe. Things Ive never been. But for her? For her little girl? I want to be.

And this time, I wont walk away.
