A younger, curvy woman on the run.

Together, in a protective, all the feels romance.

I just got home from serving in the military and I'm learning how to live as a civilian when I meet her. Elle is my younger brother's assistant, but the minute I see her, I want to know everything about her.

Elle is hiding secrets. I'm hellbent on uncovering every one. Especially peeling away the layers of her frumpy clothes to reveal the curvy body that plagues my every thought.

I know she's scared, running from something or someone. So I try to keep my distance to let her know she's safe with me. Until she forces my hand.

Now there's nothing that will stop me from claiming her.

But can I convince her I'm in it for the long haul and not just here to keep her safe?
