Served. Deepwood Mountain Holiday Specials

When it comes to love, some wounds only heal with the right ingredients... I buried my heart along with my husband three years ago. Grief, uncertainty, and moving to Deepwood Mountain to reconnect with my sister-that was my life until he walked into our food truck. Felix Reeves. Six-foot-three of lean muscle, military chivalry, and a smile that makes me tremble when chopping jalapeños. He fixed our glitchy stove in minutes, but the real problem is the blazing heat he sends to parts of me I thought were long dead. He's seven years younger, a veteran with a disability, and full of sweetness and light despite all he's lost.
And the way he looks at me, like I'm the special of the day? It makes me wonder what it would be like to have a man like him in my life. When he asks for help with the Memorial Day celebration, I should say no. I don't want to reopen those wounds. But I just can't resist his striking green eyes. Then Felix reveals he served alongside my husband in the same squad.and I'm suddenly reeling between the past and the present.
Still, each moment with this gorgeous man blurs the lines I drew around my heart. His searing touch, his carefree laugh, the warmth in his eyes when I talk about my dreams-they're melting my defenses faster than queso on a hot grill. I never expected a second chance at love. But now Felix is showing me that the greatest tribute to those we've lost is living a life full of fiery passion and dedicated service. Served is a short, steamy, instalove romance where a hunky veteran and a grieving widow discover that healing hearts-like the best recipes-require heat, patience, and the courage to try something deliciously new.
