Deadly Prospects Lily Harper Hart

Sassy and fun are the two words Ally Hardy lives her life by. She also wants love - and happiness - but she's not sure either are in her immediate future. She's content to tread water until she gets everything she's ever dreamed of. Jake Hardy is just trying to get by. His six-year tour in the Army haunts him, and he's decided distance is the best way to survive. He doesn't want - or need - any waves in his immediate future. Ally's mere existence might put Jake's plan in jeopardy. While her brother's are happily paired off, Ally is still floundering. She's attracted to Jake. Who wouldn't be? He's every woman's physical dream, and yet his mental stamina might leave much to be desired. Ally can't stay away, though, and when trouble upends her life, the woman who wants everything can't help but cling to the man who desires nothing. Jake wants distance, but his heart has an argument his body can't deny. After discovering a dying man, someone thinks Ally knows a secret. When they go after her, Jake can't fight the urge to protect her. Her brothers want a "perfect" man for their baby sister, and Jake is far from a perfect man. Ally only wants Jake, and she's decided no one is going to stand in her way. Jake fights the pull - but it seems to be a fruitless endeavor. Her energy is too much for him to resist, and despite her brothers' misgivings, Jake can't stay away. Despite his best efforts, Ally manages to catch Jake's attention - and heart. Someone is still after Ally, and her brothers may never approve, but Jake soon realizes he's beyond caring. Ally is in danger, and Jake plans to stand in the path of anyone who would try and hurt her. Will this duo survive to find out if they can find happily ever after, too? Or will someone snuff out potential love before it has a chance to bloom?
