Perfect for you if...

You love military romance with genuine emotional depth beneath the banter and steam.
You're drawn to damaged characters who heal through vulnerability, not despite it.
You want a story where the 'beast' isn't actually monstrous, just broken and honest about it.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow burns or fade-to-black intimacy; this book doesn't hold back on the physical side.
You're looking for a heroine who doesn't second-guess herself; Isabella spends real time wrestling with her feelings.
You need literary prose or philosophical depth; this is character-driven romance, straightforward and direct.

About this book

Grady Williams is the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient and a decorated Marine. When Isabella Cuesta's father squanders her college fund, she agrees to pretend to be Grady's girlfriend at the Marine Corps Ball in exchange for her father writing Grady's war memoir. Isabella is drawn to Grady but fears becoming involved with a dangerous man. Grady, scarred from combat, sees in Isabella someone who accepts him beyond his physical appearance. Though he views their arrangement as temporary, Grady becomes protective and emotionally invested in her. Isabella struggles with her attraction to Grady, unwilling to love someone whose profession puts him in constant danger. Grady believes he needs her love to feel human rather than monstrous. This is a standalone novel with a happily ever after ending, no cliffhanger, and no infidelity.
