Three ex-Navy SEALs. One tropical bar. A Florida Key full of temptation.
Max Romero survived Afghanistan by dreaming of one thing: opening a bar on a sun-soaked island with his two best friends. Now BAR—Bravo Alpha Romeo—is officially open on Aurora Key, and Max is ready for cold beer, salty air, no shirt, no shoes, and absolutely no complications.
Then he meets the woman next door.
She’s a gorgeous, free-spirited artist. She’s older. She’s single. She’s not looking for forever. And Max? He’s more than happy to give her one hot, no-strings island fling.
Until one night turns into another.
Until “casual” starts feeling a lot like obsession.
Until Max realizes the woman who was supposed to be a good time might be the only woman he can’t live without.
But just when life on Aurora Key starts to feel dangerously close to perfect, Max’s ten-year-old niece loses everything—and he becomes the only family she has left.
Now the ex-SEAL who never planned on being anyone’s father is suddenly a single dad, trying to build a home, run a bar, protect a grieving little girl, and convince the one woman he wants that this messy, complicated life could still have room for her.
**Burn In** is a steamy age-gap, single-dad romance featuring a protective ex-Navy SEAL, a hot older-woman/younger-man fling that turns into so much more, forced proximity on a tropical island, found family, emotional heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Download it free today—or read in Kindle Unlimited—and escape to Aurora Key, where the drinks are cold, the nights are hot, and three sexy ex-SEALs are about to meet their match.
