Amity

My charity job always hosts a celebrity for our Christmas pledge drive. They say all the right things and then they're on to their next project before any problems get solved.

I refuse to be cynical during the holidays, but I have to keep perspective.

That's why it's terrifying to be falling for a man I know will be gone as soon as the decorations are.

Lawson is a war hero with the body of a statue and the jawline of an action figure. He only needs a smile to make my heart pound.

I'm scared I'll give myself away.

But I'm even more scared this might be real.

Since getting back stateside, the holidays have been hitting me a certain way. It's a reminder that for everything I fought for, there's a lot I didn't have to come home to.

Winding up famous doesn't help. What feels like a strange world is only getting stranger.

But then I meet her. Amity. She makes sense. Her smile is like something I've known all my life. Her eyes have a wicked gleam and her body reminds me of everything it is to be a man and to want a woman.

I didn't realize what I was looking for, but I've found it. I've got a new mission. And I have until the lights come down to make her realize she has to be mine.

Give and Take is a short holiday story to scratch that military romance itch with all the heat you could ask for between an alpha war hero and the curvy woman he falls for. It's a complete standalone romance with HEA and NO CLIFFHANGER.
