Spencer Jamison survived war zones and high-stakes missions as a Navy SEAL-but nothing prepared him for Pelican Bay, Maine...or the chaotic hurricane disguised as his rescue puppy, Frankie. Between shredded furniture, destroyed boots, and gallons of canned cheese, he's one bad day away from losing his mind. The last thing he needs is a woman. Until Frankie tackles one. Joslin Reed is a smart-mouthed pediatric nurse with killer curves, seasonal leggings, and a talent for blurting out wildly inappropriate things when faced with a hot man. When Spencer's dog rips her pants in the middle of the pet store, Joslin expects humiliation...not sparks. He's tall, muscled, and sinful in black jeans-and when he awkwardly asks her out, she shocked herself by saying yes. But dating a man like Spencer comes with risk. He's protective to the point of insane, distractingly intense, and dangerously good with his hands. And just when Joslin thinks things might actually go right...the dead body turns up. Pelican Bay might be crazy. Frankie might be feral. But Spencer?
Spencer is a walking, talking, panty-melting holiday risk. And Joslin is about to gamble everything on him. Even her heart.
