Romance: SEAL'D With A Kiss (Mail Order Bride Navy Seal Romance) (Military Western Wedding Short Stories)

Kyle has it all: a Navy Seal's physique, Hollywood looks, the attention of just about any woman he chooses. Any sane guy would trade places with Kyle in an instant, and Kyle would probably let them. He can’t live a normal life anymore, not with the things he has seen. He’s turned to excess to try and get by. He’s pushed away nearly all of his loved ones. Those who care about him most have all but given up on him. He tries to pretend as if everything is okay, but it's not.

Struggling with memories of his time on the battlefield, Kyle has seen the worst of mankind. It’s going to take some of the best mankind has to offer to turn his life around.

Julie has experienced her own share of trauma. After an abusive childhood, she’s really come a long way. She’s worked hard to put herself through college, landed herself a decent job, and rescued her little sister in the process. Something is missing from her life, though. Everyone seems to be settling down and starting a family these days. Julie can't help but envy them. There's so much that she's put on hold because of her own terrible past. She’s neglected her love life, and it’s time someone fixed that.

When Julie is sent on a business trip the day after Kyle puts an ad on Craigslist, everything changes. Even if they can help each other with their respective problems, everyone knows long distance relationships rarely work out. They’re two people who have lost a lot but have everything to gain.

Is their encounter just a one night stand, or could it turn into more? Maybe they're both just wasting their time. It's a long shot, but it seems worth a try. Maybe, just maybe, one encounter could change both of their lonely lives for the better.
