Ex-Navy SEAL Blake Keller came to Superstition Springs to get his teammate into a PTSD art therapy program, only to find it doesn’t exist yet. Armed with leverage on consultant Aurora Elliot, he plans to use it to speed things up—except his special ops training never covered how to handle a pretty brunette who checks every one of his boxes and has major distraction written all over her.
Aurora recently learned she was adopted and is secretly searching for her birth mother while working on the project, but the charismatic, charming and nosy Blake uncovers the truth within minutes. His deal: work together and he’ll keep her secret.
The timing for romance is all wrong. But when Serenity hands them love predictions signifying it’s meant to be, all bets are off…until Blake finds out Aurora never planned to stay.
