Derek Alexander is a retired Marine, ex-cop, and the top investigator in his field. Melissa Jones is a small-town girl trying to escape her troubled past.

When the two intersect in a bar in Arizona, their sexual chemistry is off the charts. But what is revealed during their "one-week stand" only complicates matters.

Because she'll do everything in her power to get away from the past, but he'll do everything he can to hold her.

(A steamy, fling-to-forever military romance with a touch of suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

"Hot! Fun! Enjoyable! 5 stars!!! I highly recommend this story and can't wait to read more from Tia Louise!" (Aleatha Romig, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author)
