Two Rooms & One Heart. Front Lines to Home Fronts

She shapes glass. He protects lives. Together, they forge something unbreakable. Guy Riggs, ex-military, current SRT, scarred inside and out, wants very little. A roof. A bed. A place where nobody needs anything from him. A friend of a friend hooks him up. Enter Retha Walls. She creates beauty from fire-glass that glows, bends, reshapes. The fiercely independent glass artist with sexy coveralls and a stubborn streak ten miles wide, seems perfect.
She's sunshine and molten fire, all at once-fragile in ways she hides, strong in ways she doesn't even realize. He doesn't expect her. Doesn't expect the pull. He might've moved in for the peace, but he stays for her. For her laugh. Her fire. Her stubborn heart. Her safety. When her ex crosses a line, Guy steps in-calm, lethal, unshakably protective. Retha thinks Dane is only staying until he finds somewhere else to go. Dane knows better.
He found his home the moment she opened her door. And he's never letting her stand alone again. Not when she's the first place that's ever felt like home. Not when forever is the only thing he wants. This short read is MF with a guaranteed HEA.
