Resisting Daphne

Instalove and slowburn shouldn't be possible in the same story, right? Well, wait until you meet Grant.I've been in love with my parents' sexy next door-neighbor for five long years. Five years of stolen moments, forbidden flirtation, and resisting the urge to force myself on him just to get a proper kiss. He blames the government cameras in his home and thinks the twenty-year age gap plus his top-secret military career make a real relationship impossible.
I think that's pure pig-headed bossiness and it's my duty to remind him that there's more to life than missions and marking everything classified. Despite his strict rules and iron control, I know my grumpy general isn't entirely immune to my charms. Why else would he let me sneak through the hedge every time I'm in D. C. for a visit, teasing us both with the promise of what we can't have? Until my appearance as the bride in a fake-marriage scheme ignites Grant's short fuse and finally he's taking very decisive action.
Our slow-burn romance erupts without warning into a passionate elopement. Finally, all our problems are over.Except Grant's years of restraint means he goes slightly overboard when he finally relents, landing him in a secret military hospital and unable to contact me. Now it's up to me to take charge and prove to my stubborn, sexy-as-sin general that our love is worth fighting for, no matter the risks.
After all, he's the only man that can deliver on the ultimate mission: secure our happily ever after.
