Wounded Warrior. Forbidden Therapist. Healing Hearts. His body wants the fight. Her job is making sure he survives it. Navy SEAL Mitch Trenton never let anything slow him down—until a battlefield injury puts him on the sidelines. He’s determined to get back to his team. And just as determined to get under the skin of his sexy, rule-following physical therapist. Paige O’Kelly doesn’t do reckless men in uniform. She’s already been abandoned by one adrenaline junkie, and Mitch is pushing both his body and her patience way too hard. Even if he wasn’t her patient, she wouldn’t go there. Until she does. As professional boundaries blur and intense passion takes over, Paige discovers the man beneath Mitch’s tough SEAL exterior—funny, driven, and dangerously easy to fall for. But when Mitch insists he’s ready to return to combat and Paige knows he’s not healed, everything they’re building is put at risk. Will Mitch learn to trust Paige before he destroys his body—and their future? And will Paige believe Mitch is the one man who protects her, stays, and gives her everything? A sexy contemporary romance about trust, healing, and choosing love over recklessness. *** ⭐ What readers are saying “If you’re looking for a hot, sexy, emotional read, Virna DePaul delivers!” “This is an author whose work continues to delight.” “…intense, intricate, and insomnia-inducing.” “Steamy, heart-warming, and action-packed!” “The twists and turns of the fast-paced plot are delightful.” --Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review) *** 📚 Virna DePaul Standalone Romance Collection His Royal Hotness Promised to the Pack SEAL of a Lifetime Craving Her Cowboy A Vampire’s Salvation Wild for Mr. Wrong Delete Nudes Virna DePaul Romance Starter Collection Complete Series Edition Power and Desire Box Set Books 1-3
