Petty Officer Greg "Bam-Bam" Killian is done with marriage, done with long term relationships, and done with the Teams. The injury sustained on his last op has destroyed his dreams of being a SEAL as much as his ex-wife demolished their marriage. Now he's free to do anything he wants, including get drunk and be miserable.
Zamora Hart has dealt with her fair share of men, both military and civilian. When a wounded petty officer washes up in her tattoo shop, she can't help but offer him a place to stay for the weekend. She's been where he is and doesn't mind paying the help forward, especially when the friendship comes with some intimate benefits. It's only temporary.
When Zamora's ex shows up, frightening her with talk of starting over, Greg offers to stay at her place longer to give backup and repay her generosity. He doesn't intend to fall in love with her, he's only defending a friend while he shifts his career from active service to BUD/S instructor. But her ex's threats become more than just talk, and Greg must step up his efforts of protection, because that's what friends do.
But it's only temporary and they're just friends-with-benefits, right?
