Trusting Jake by Becca Monroe

Haunted by betrayal and fear, can two broken hearts claim a second chance at love?

Delaney:
I put five-thousand miles between me and my agonizing past, yet still live in fear every day. I survived my ex once and was able to escape with my life, but I doubt I would be so lucky a second time. Hiding my true identity is the only way to stay safe, even though I would love to reveal every bit of myself to Jake. He’s as standoffish as he is painfully attractive… and I can’t stop dreaming about him. For everyone’s safety, I need to keep my distance and try not to think about how glorious it would be to feel his arms around me.

Jake:
After receiving a Dear John letter in the middle of back-to-back combat tours, I have no interest in trusting anyone with my heart again. Which is why I bristled when I met Delaney. My attraction to her was immediate, yet history proved to me that love isn’t worth the risk. While my mind warns me to keep my distance, my body has other ideas. Still, as much as I ache to make her mine, it becomes clear she’s keeping secrets. When a face from her past reappears, I realize how much danger she’s in. Will battling to keep her safe shatter what’s left of my crumbling resolve? Or will daring to care break my heart a second time?
