Inexplicable

She should have been nothing more than one more mission.

Brock

Jenna Moran was just another victim, a scientist who'd gotten herself kidnapped in Mexico.

As former Delta operatives, bringing captives home was a routine my team and I had performed countless times. We were experts at recovery for Last Hope, and this was an ordinary operation.

Until it wasn't...

One minor gunshot wound later, Jenna offered to come home and take care of me.

I didn't need her help.

The injury was nothing.

But I found myself agreeing when I definitely should have said no.

For some reason, I was intrigued by the woman who carried numerous scars, both visible and hidden, yet still managed to be the most optimistic person I'd ever met.

She was an enigma for a grumpy, cynical guy like me. A mystery that I was determined to figure out.

Jenna

I owed Brock Miller my life, so offering to help him until he recovered from his gunshot wound was the least I could do.

I'd planned to travel to Michigan to help him for a week or two.

No big deal.

No problem.

Except...I didn't count on the scorching chemistry between us.

I had never planned on a man like Brock, a guy who couldn't seem to see any of my scars.

Playing it safe and being alone was my normal.

Did I really have the courage to risk everything to explore our explosive attraction or was I better off hightailing it back to California to keep my heart protected?
