My Stupid Heart: a friend's to lovers, SEAL, suspenseful romance

Ryker McKnight has tried, and failed, to live by these words for over a decade.

He’s never taken it further than that, no matter how much his heart aches for Molly O’Shea.

However, when Molly texts him that her ex-boyfriend is stalking her and things have gotten dangerous, Ryker’s on the next flight out to Jackson Hole to save the day. Even if he knows they’ll never be more than friends.

Brendan has been dead for thirteen years, and as much as Molly misses her husband, she also knows it's okay to move on. If only Ryker felt the same way about her that she does for him. As terrifying as it is for her and her daughter, Sasha, that her ex can’t take the breakup like an adult, it's impossible to ignore the butterflies in her belly or the thump of her heart at the idea of seeing Ryker again.

Can Ryker overcome the idea of betraying his best friend and give into the mutual attraction he has with Molly while also making sure she and Sasha are safe? Or will danger surround them all before he ever gets the chance to tell Molly how he truly feels about her, ruining the chance of a happily ever after for any of them?
