Ron

I'm a decorated Marine general who doesn't have time for relationships. I've tried—they just don't work out—and I've never lost sleep over it. Then I meet her. Brenna is easily the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. The first time she blushes under my stare, it's game over. She's going to need to learn that I'm in charge and trust that I always mean what I say, because I'm not letting her go.

Brenna

When Ron offers me a drink at the Sterling's wedding reception, I have no idea that he's a military star on the rise; I just know he's the walking definition of masculine—that translates in the bedroom (and couches, counters, tables . . .) as the best sex I've ever had. The more time we spend together, the more I'm convinced he's hiding something—or someone—and I'm not going down that road again. He can say anything he wants, but actions speak louder than words.
