He’s her boss. She’s too young for him. And lines are about to blur.

Taking a job at the newly opened Wilderness Adventure Park was supposed to be about gaining independence for Addison March. She wasn’t supposed to find her boss so ridiculously good-looking. Or his smile so charming. Or his protectiveness such a freaking turn-on. The problem is, not only does he think he’s too old for her—he also has a past. A past that makes him believe he’s dangerous for Addie to be around. She disagrees. But convincing Noah is proving difficult.

Ex-Marine Noah Hayes has returned home to Amber Ridge not just because he wanted to…because he was forced. Medical discharge. Not physical—mental. Something he hasn’t shared with his loved ones. But leaving the service doesn’t mean his past has left him alone. The nightmares and flashbacks taunt him. And worse, they’ve touched the people around him…specifically, Addie, his newest employee. Ironic, considering she seems to be the only one with the power to soothe him.

For her safety, he needs to stay away from Addie. But when someone starts targeting her, making dangerous threats, Noah’s forced to choose—keep his distance? Or protect her at the risk of exposing Addie to his own demons?
