Avenged by Love

When a broody military man marries a quiet bookstore clerk to ensure she gets the care she needs, they agree the relationship has a time limit. So why does it feel like their hearts are breaking before the countdown even begins? I'm finally getting my Coast Guard career back on track after mistakes that weren't mine derailed it. I'll be in New London just long enough to earn my next post. The last thing I need is a romance with the woman two rooms down no matter how much Jersey Banner's quiet beauty calls to me. Travis Dayton has an alter ego just like the superheroes I adore. Broody military man by day and smooth charmer by night. But I can't afford to be taken in by his wide smile, not when I'm barely keeping my family afloat with my dad in jail. Truck needs to keep his comic-worthy nickname and all-seeing eyes to himself. Until he finds me writhing in pain and everything changes. After taking Jersey to the emergency room, I discover she's denied herself medical care because she can't afford it. Desperate to help, I do the only thing I can think of-I marry her. We both know it's temporary. We both know our real lives will never fit. So why does it feel like my heart will never recover if I let our fake marriage crumble? "You don't have to fight the world alone. You've got me." Inspired by Lady A's "Ocean" this soul-tugging, slow-burn romance is full of vibrant characters, emotional journeys, and happiness you'll feel in your bones.
