For someone whose eyes are always on the sky, sometimes the perfect happily ever after is standing right in front of you.

Kate: I've always been one of the guys. I love my friends dearly, even if being the friend of four giant, intimidating Marines isn't exactly getting me on the shortlist for dating partners. I suppose it doesn't matter, even though finding someone who loves me and wants to settle down with me is always something I've wanted.

Tony is one of my best friends, and I've never thought of him like that, but lately I'm starting to. There's so much at risk—our friendship, our friend group—and I have no idea what the future holds. I don't know if Tony is worth the risk.

Tony: Every member of my family is happily married with kids. To get my parents off my back, I told them I had a girlfriend, and I would bring her home for Christmas. Well, Christmas is here, and I only know one single woman—my best friend, Kate. So I need her to come home with me and pretend that we're dating. I have no idea if it'll go well. I'm used to taking risks, but I've had a crush on Kate since the day we met, and I'm not sure I'll be able to keep my cool with her so close.

Well, every great discovery comes with a little risk, right? If Kate is willing to pretend, then I can step up and pretend with her—even when I realize how much I like her and how badly I want to be around her more.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I can control myself around her, and keep my cool. Probably. I hope.

Reviews

★★★★★ "You can read it as a standalone but I think the books are more enjoyable when read in order since previous characters will show up in this book. They're all interconnected. This is a friend to lover’s fake turn real romance story. No cheating, low drama and definitely a happy ending. It is steamy and entertaining. I've really enjoyed the authors books. Can't wait to see what she puts out next"

★★★★★ "There is so much between these two. He’s always had a crush since they met now he can act on it. Katie liked him but did not even realize it. Tony is a gentleman through and through. It was a heart wrenching story but that made it even better. Grab the series and read it all. It is great. These can kind of be stand alone but it is better to read from the start so you know who is who and how and why they fit together to perfectly."

WARNING: The Witmer Series will have you addicted! Be prepared to stay up until 3am reading about steamy passion, smokin' hot protective alphas and feisty heroines!

♥Three hard, rugged ex-military alphas are going to find steamy romance in a small western town…welcome to Witmer! ♥

This box set contains:

1) Nothing Else Matters

♥Is there anything more aggravating than a man who is incredibly buff, gruff, and acts all tough when I’m around him? Yes. Yes, there is. ♥

2) Forbidden Chance

♥What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? A desert storm isn't just an operation overseas anymore!♥

3) Conflict Of Hearts

(Series Finale. Limited Time Release Exclusive to This Boxset)

♥If there's one thing I'm absolutely certain of, it's that you should never, ever date a military man. ♥

At best, they're only good for one night only—not the kind of guy one brings home to Mama. At worst, they've got secrets and lies and egos big enough to send any woman running for the hills.

As a physical therapist for soldiers at Fort Bliss, it's a small town and I rarely any new faces. Until Dwane Forest, a Private from New Orleans who suffered a bad injury, gets transferred and placed into my care.

I'm the best there is around these parts, and Dwane's determination, his wit and sarcasm—and that big, mischievous smile—draw me in immediately.

Maybe rules are made to be broken. Maybe there are always exceptions.

Maybe there's one military man that might be worth keeping around . . .

Reviews

★★★★★ "I found each book in this boxset very entertaining and well written with well developed and engaging characters. The storylines all had a great flow that offered hours of entertainment."

★★★★★ "These stories aren’t your standard looks across the room, boom you’re in love and they live happily ever after romances. These couples are more realistic. If you love books that hit your emotions and are hot and steamy then grab this set. I think you’ll enjoy it."

★★★★★ "You should really grab these books and set yourself up for some love, heartache, and all that comes with emotions. Jean is a wonderful writer and puts her all into her books as you will find out reading her stories"

♥What happens when a caged bird is finally allowed to fly free?♥

Kayla Hart

I left it all behind. My terrible relationship, my home, my friends and family, to start a new life in Fort Balerno. I need to take some time for myself, to figure out what it is that I want, and what will make me happy.

The problem is people's pasts have a way of catching up to them. Even though I told Jacob it was over, he still keeps calling me, and threatening to come find me and bring me home.

I don't want to go back. I want to be my own person, here in Witmer. I'm used to being alone, so it's not like I'm missing out on anything, even when a gorgeous ex-Marine falls right into my life and promises me everything I didn't know I was missing.

I can't afford to get chained down again. I need to fly free. Being with Dax won’t become anything. Right?

Dax Buck

I'm not particularly good with women. They find my sense of humor too weird, my friends too loud, my personality just a little bit too much.

I guess being a hopeless romantic and shooting straight isn't what women want.

It's fine, it's not like I'm actively looking. But, I also am never one to let an opportunity pass me by. The new nurse at the hospital, Kayla, is gorgeous and sassy, and God, there's just something about her. Something that makes me want to keep her safe and protected in my arms.

Nothing ever happens overnight, but Kayla is the kind of person worth defending, worth building something with.

If only she'd give me the chance.

Reviews

★★★★★"This is not a fast love story as the others are but this one moves just at the right pace for this story. Will Kayla be able to give Dax the relationship they both want? Grab this and the other books in the series and check them all out and fall in love with these ex-military men."
 
★★★★★"I like how this built slowly and you can feel the relationship grow. The ex is a holding Kayla back. I thought this was written well and the story flowed really well. This is a great story, I hope there will be more. Fabulous!"
 
★★★★★"Jean Stokes has written a 5-star book. Can Dax prove to Kayla that he is nothing like Jacob and get his girl? This was a wonderful book and I would recommend this book to anyone."

♥Joslyn Nichols has no intention of getting into another relationship, which is good because the hot guy who asked her out is known to be a hookups-only kind of a guy. Right?♥

Joslyn Nichols: I thought I’d spend the rest of my life in Tokyo. I was in love with the city, the culture, the style. I liked the idea of big city life. But the reality was cold and lonely.

I needed a change. I needed more space to breathe.

So when I got the chance to move South of Houston for a full-time job with better pay, I broke up with my boyfriend and took it. Relationships are overrated anyway.

What I didn’t know was that the little town of Fort Balerno was home to a tall, strong Marine named Tyler Wright. I’d never felt like I needed a man. Until now. Oops.

Tyler Wright: How many men do you know who get to spend all day playing in dirt and getting a tan? That's what I always told people when they asked about my job as a soil scientist in Fort Balerno, Texas.

I came here when I joined the Marine Reserve, and I continued to serve two weekends out of the month and a two-week stint every year. I had a good job, great friends, and a decent dating life.

Sure, most of the women just wanted someone to buy them dinner and gifts, and didn’t give two hoots about who I was. But overall, life was good. And then I met Joslyn Nichols, and I found out exactly what I’d been missing.

A man who is buff, gruff, and acts all tough––and has a baby daughter that he looks after too.

I can’t pretend that I’m not affected by the guy that I met at the courthouse, especially since I know he has a daughter that he adores.

I had been minding my own business, like I always do, working my job at the front desk and not looking for any drama. Until he stormed into my life.

Jamie Armistead is in the middle of a rather messy divorce and custody battle, and yet, all I can think about is how big his arms are... and his heart.

It’s knowing that underneath his hard exterior and reinforced armour, there’s a big softie, that’s driving me nuts. His drive to have full custody of his daughter is admirable, but his gruffness is terrifying. Perhaps I want to cause trouble for myself, because, in the end, nothing good can come of this.

With a vengeful ex-wife in town, I know that thinking and wanting Jamie is a disaster waiting to happen, and yet he refuses to leave my thoughts.

♥What’s more important—finding love or protecting your child from loss?♥

---

Kenzie Becker’s daughter, Lailah, is not happy about moving to Fort Balerno. All her friends are in Austin, and so is her father. For Kenzie, the move represents a fresh start, both for her personal life and her new business. She tells herself that what’s good for her is good for her daughter, too—until she sees how depressed Lailah is. She wants to do what’s right for her daughter. That’s why she has to stay away from her brother’s sexy and successful friend, no matter how much she wants him. 
The only problem is she didn’t anticipate how difficult it would be to turn down the man of her dreams. Is her daughter’s happiness really more important than her own?

Troy Andrews has a successful landscaping business in Fort Balerno and a good group of friends. Everything’s going great until he suddenly starts losing clients to a new competitor in town. When they start going after his friend’s sister, too, he’s had enough. Kenzie’s business is completely unrelated to landscaping—it’s as though they’re going after her just because he cares about her. Not that it matters. Her brother is determined to keep Troy away from her, claiming it’s not good for her daughter. Troy can’t help but wonder though, what does Kenzie want?

★★★★★ "Jean Stokes has written a 5-star book. Will Kenzie let go of her insecurities and let Troy in? Will Troy get the woman of his dreams? This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone."

★★★★★ "The romance is rough at first as their feelings are kept subdued because of Lailah, but when she comes around, things skyrocket. Suspense hits when someone from his past (past book) is seeking revenge on his lost revenue so he is going after Kenzie and Troys clients. The ending is terrific and happy."

I left behind my life in the city in search of something new.

A place where no one knew me, I had no family, and my mistakes remained in the past.

But when I arrive in the sleepy town of Witmer, I don’t know what it was I expected, but it certainly wasn’t what I got.

The surprise came in the form of a boulder of a man, with a cold personality to match. The kind of man that, like poking a bear, you tend to avoid.

So, don’t ask me what it was that drew me to my new neighbor Aaron Willet. Perhaps it was the brooding, or his insanely muscular arms, or even perhaps the fact that he wasn’t showing a direct interest in me.

Whatever it is, I feel a need to know him.

But this isn’t just a sleepy town like it might appear on the surface. There’s trouble brewing in Witmer. A family that wants to make trouble for the rest of us.

I won’t let that happen, and neither will my stubborn and rather arrogant neighbor, even if he won’t open up to me.

I'm used to being overlooked and passed by. There's always something to keep me busy and I do my best to stay occupied. A lightning storm only needs a moment of hesitation to strike, so I keep my head down and make sure I don't get caught off guard.

Until one otherwise uneventful day, I find myself on a ranch outside of my hometown of Witmer, owned and operated by the man I've had a crush on since high school: Scott Rowe. Scott and I didn't see eye to eye when we were younger, and I have no reason to believe that time changed him as much as it changed me.

It's just that wherever I end up, he’s already there waiting for me. Lightning doesn't strike twice and the third time is no coincidence.

Even if Scott seems more interested in just being friends, I have to find out if he feels the storm brewing between us.
