Jensen. Brothers in Arms in Alaska, #3

JensenI swore off women years ago, sick and tired of watching all those closest to me suffering from relationships gone sour. I'm a loner. I don't need anyone except my dog. But when I meet my buddy's wife's sister Nova, I'm drawn to her in a way I can't fight. I quickly find myself at the mercy of this charming curvy beauty. She fills a part of me I never knew needed to be whole. I resist her as long as I can, but it's futile.
She's not supposed to stay, but I've warned her more than once that I don't let what's mine go. NovaI swore I'd never visit Alaska, even after my sister moved there. But after a discovering in late mom's journal, I've had a change of heart. I'm in Three Rivers for answers. But when I first lay eyes on Jensen, a military veteran turned Alaska mountain man, everything changes. He has an iron wall around his heart, and I'm determined to break through his armor if it's the last thing I do.
I didn't come here to fall in love, but it's happening anyway. The place I swore to never visit just might become home. We all made a pact. We've survived basic together, shared duty stations, and gone to war together. But the needs of the Army have separated us multiple times. That's why we agreed that when each of us got out, we'd settle down in the same mountainside town of Three Rivers. It was a favorite place to get away on holiday weekends when we were stationed together in Alaska, and as veterans now, we can't imagine anywhere better.
A place filled with fresh mountain air, friendly people who are there when you need them but happy to keep to themselves when you don't, and unexpected love none of us saw coming. Sweet & steamy short story instalove romance with a mountain man and curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.
