Truce: Declan

She just needs a place to stay. A better man wouldn't take advantage. But I will… When my friend Jaxson talks me into hosting my high school ex-girlfriend for a few days, I'm not exactly thrilled. Katie might have had a good reason for breaking up with me-and I do consider college a good reason-but I can't deny that the memory still stings. Yes, she's in town for her aunt's funeral, and yes, I know the Blue Sky Resort is renovating, but it still stings. The problem is, I forget all about it when she comes waltzing through the front door of our office. That's my Katie. Gorgeous, sweet, nervous Katie. Now, a published romance author in need of a shirtless cover model… She wants me for the job, but I want her in return. How convenient that there's only one bed in my house… This is an extended, spicier version of Truce: Declan, which was originally published in Seeds of Love: A Romance Charity Anthology to Benefit Ukraine. Welcome to Breckenridge, where the men are rugged, dominant, and will do whatever it takes to protect the women they love.

Ariella wants nothing more than a second chance and a fresh start in a small town.

Single father and former special forces soldier, Jaxson is part owner of Eagle Tactical, a private company owned by former military operatives with access to an abundance of surveillance and intelligence equipment. If it's available, he can find it. If it's not, his team of specially trained warriors can uncover the truth through any means necessary.

She can't risk getting too close, no matter how much her heart soars when he's around. He's dangerous to her second chance at starting over.

With his tactical abilities and special ops training, he can uncover her secrets and destroy her last chance at finding happiness, but what about love?
