Stealing It: A Second Chance Small Town Military Romance

He's all charm and no strings. She's got one rule-don't get burned twice.

Aidan Mixx

SEAL. Player. Master of keeping things casual. As a SEAL, I've mastered the art of mental toughness, and nothing gets in the way of my mission. One-night stands, no strings, and a cocky attitude keep things simple. Getting stationed in Bronze Bay was supposed to be more of the same-new town, new distractions, no attachments.

Then I meet Magnolia Sager. Gorgeous. Guarded. The kind of woman who sees straight through the charm. She doesn't do casual, and for the first time, I'm thinking maybe I don't want to either.

Magnolia Sager

I moved to Bronze Bay for peace, not romance. After my ex torched our life-and our daughter saw it all-I packed up and started over. Now I run my antique shop, keep my heart locked down, and focus on being a good mom.

Then a dating app match flips everything upside down. Aidan is bold, beautiful trouble-and exactly what I promised myself I'd avoid. But the more time we spend together, the harder it gets to remember why I was trying to resist in the first place.

He says he doesn't do serious, but love doesn't always play by the rules.
