FORBIDDEN LOVE • SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE • SLOW BURN PASSION
A Contemporary Military/Private Security Romance Novel By Samantha Cole About Finding Forever Love Against All Odds
Jenn Mullins has been secretly in love with Doug Henderson for years—her former bodyguard and completely off-limits. Eight years older and working for her overprotective godfather, Doug believes her feelings are nothing more than misplaced hero worship.
When Jenn finally kisses the man she's been dreaming about, their forbidden attraction ignites into something neither can deny. But Doug runs, convinced she's too young and he's crossing every line that matters.
Heartbroken and determined to move on, Jenn volunteers at a medical commune in Colombia, putting an ocean between them. But fate intervenes when Doug arrives unexpectedly, and the aftermath of a devastating earthquake traps them together.
Alone and sheltered in each other's arms, their long-suppressed desire erupts into an inferno of passion. But when rescue comes, will the outside world extinguish their flame forever?
