Saving Jase. Oakside Military Heroes, #14

She's his curvy military pen pal turned best friend. He thinks he's way too old for her. Then one kiss in Key West rewrote every rule they ever made. RyleeI never planned on falling in love with my pen pal. Jase was just supposed to be a class assignment-one letter to a deployed soldier. But one letter turned into hundreds.Into years. Into the safest friendship I've ever known. Into something I was too scared to admit even to myself.
And now he's here. Standing in front of me at a beach bar in Key West, looking at me like he's memorizing every inch of me. He's gentle, sweet, and when he kisses me, I swear I feel every letter we ever shared. I don't know how this ends. But for the first time in my life, I'm ready to stop hiding.JaseRylee has been my lifeline through deployments, heartbreak, and every hard moment in between. I've memorized her handwriting, her humor, the way she pours her heart into every letter.
But her in real life? She's so much more. She's stunning, smart, talented, and strong in ways she doesn't even realize. The way she looks at me? It ruins me. The way she kisses me? I'm done for. And when I finally get her in my bed, my only thought is mine. I never meant to fall in love. But one week with her is enough to make me want forever.
