Damaged Protector

She was supposed to be a fun distraction. I never intended to fall for the single mom next door.

Living the playboy life was exactly how I wanted it, after being forced to leave the Navy SEALs for a job in this sleepy seaside town.

No emotions, no strings. Guarding my heart above all else.

And for years, it worked - until this sexy single mom and her kid came crashing into my life.

The problem is, we agreed to keep it physical, nothing more.

Now as I hold her, I realize - I was lying from the start.

And winning her equally damaged heart is finally the risk I’m willing to take.
