The Dream Groom by Taylor Hart

All Scar Walker wanted to do while he was in San Diego was focus on getting his gym built for military vets. He didn’t want to take crap from his brother, he didn’t want to deal with a lippy waitress who got his eggs wrong, and he really didn’t want random people calling him on the phone.

Shayla Castle came to San Diego to finally live out her childhood dream. When she accidentally calls the mysterious phone number left on her table while waitressing, she never anticipated it would be the handsome, jerkface soldier who chewed her out that morning. And when she gets attacked the next evening and the same jerkface shows up and saves her, she’s really confused. She never would have imagined she and soldier boy would start talking every night and she really never imagined he would convince her to let him do her bucket list together.

But after a hike at Torrey Pines, a helicopter ride, and surfing at Oceanside…she finds she just might be falling for this soldier boy. When Shayla’s past shows up and wants her back, she’s left with a choice—let go or lose the dream she never knew she wanted.
