    About this ebook

    Introverted flight attendant Veronica Mills had no idea her life would change on a sunny San Diego layover. After more than six months of e-mails, occasional phone calls, and pictures, she gained a friend and confidant. For the first time in years, she felt comfortable with a man to share stories of disastrous dates and everything from the dangerous to the mundane.

    For her, the feelings went further than platonic. But was she willing to risk a possible lifelong friendship for the uncertainty and pitfalls of a sexual relationship? Not that he'd indicated an interest in anything more than what they currently had.

    After six months of sparse showers, rotten food, and sand in every orafice possible, Master Sergeant Joe Sanders felt good to be home and in civvies. It felt even better being with Veronica. 

    Now, all he had to do was to persuade her to take him out of the friend zone. The poor woman was about to learn a valuable lesson- never underestimating a Marine on a mission.
