Holden. Brothers in Arms in Alaska, #9

RachelI have one goal. Buy out my aunt so that Middle of Nowhere Alaskan Crafts is one hundred percent mine. After years of saving every spare penny, I'm so close to having enough money to make the dream a reality. Except my aunt has one stipulation: Don't get involved with another military man. It's never been a problem until Holden Black started coming around. I've turned him down every time he's asked me out, but secretly I love his persistence.
One kiss changes everything. He promises to keep our romance a secret until I own the store free and clear. But is anything ever a secret for long in a small town?HoldenI've been stuck on Rachel Tomlin since the first time I saw her. Every day I show up at her shop, refusing to give up each time she shuts me down. I think that secretly she wants me too. If I could only figure out what's holding her back.
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to break down her barrier. Even enter a moose making competition to impress her. One heated kiss is all it takes for her to surrender to me. I don't like keeping us a secret, but I certainly love having her in my bed. In a few weeks, there'll be no more strings attached to her life. If we don't get caught first.
