Kailua Marines Series

I thought she was brave for going on her honeymoon alone. I just didn’t think I’d wind up joining her. I've been known to jump headfirst into adventure without thinking about the consequences, but pretending to be married? That was never on my thrill-seeking to-do list. It's not Molly's fault her ex left her high and dry, but his loss is my gain. If she needs a fake husband for the honeymoon of a lifetime, count me in. Fancy dinners? Excursions? A romantic joy flight over the Hawaiian Islands? No complaints from me. But the more time I spend with Molly, the more trouble I'm in. I'm not the knight in shining armor Molly needs for the long haul. But when I'm with her, I feel like I could be. Pretending to be married to Molly might be the best bad decision I've ever made. Treasured in Turtle Bay is book one in this sweet military romance series and is told from both points of view in the first person, from alternating narrators.

I love her. I always have. But is telling her the truth worth ruining our friendship? I met Ana on the playground when we were kids. She kicked me down the slide because I was scared and took too long. I fell in love with her on the spot. No matter which way life pulled us, we stayed in contact as best friends do. That’s our first problem. Best friends. Purely platonic. Our second problem has been the only thing keeping me from doing something stupid like telling her I love her. We’ve never lived in the same city as adults, and never spent time in one place long enough for temptation to overwhelm me. I am firmly in the friend zone and I need to accept it. If she saw me as relationship material, wouldn’t I know it? Now Ana is moving to Hawaii. Right down the road. I’ll see her gorgeous face every day. I’ll have lunch with her. I’ll go to the beach with her. I’ll show her around and introduce her to my other friends. What I won’t do is tell her the truth. But how can I hide how I really feel when each time she smiles at me, I want to do the one thing I know I shouldn’t? Promises at Pyramid Rock is book two in this sweet military romance series and is told from both points of view in the first person, from alternating narrators. Each book can be read as a standalone but they are fun to read in order!

People dream of being stranded in paradise… until it happens for real. You know those dumb quizzes on social media that tell you to pick the one person you wouldn’t mind being stuck on a deserted island with? Well, a few months ago, I would have said Kate. I thought she was the one. Until she ghosted me. Now she’s back and wants to make amends. She had a reason for what she did, even if it hurt, so against my better judgment I invited her to go fishing on my boat. I definitely didn’t plan for what happened next. Now we’re stuck together. And even though I'm falling for her all over again, I just can’t shake what happened last time. Not with a deployment looming. What happens if history repeats itself and I’m not here to stop it? But first, we need to get through this whole being stranded thing. And then after we’re rescued, we’ll deal with the rest. Because there’s no time for romance when you’re busy trying to survive, right?

It’s pretty hard to stay away from her when she moves in right next door… I’m the jokester of the group. I always have that one-liner that lightens the mood, even in the darkest of moments. It's just who I am. I lost my wife eleven years ago when I was on my first deployment, so now I'm just trying to keep things light. And because of that, I refuse to put my heart out there again while I’m a Marine. It’s not worth the risk. So when a beautiful single mom moves in next door, I’m going to fight that attraction tooth and nail. Thing is, Maggie doesn’t want to be with me either. Her late husband was a Marine, and there’s no way she’ll let her daughter go through that again. Or herself. It doesn’t matter that sparks fly whenever we’re together. It doesn’t matter that her daughter is just as much of a book nerd as I am and we get along great. And it definitely doesn’t matter that the three of us are somehow turning into a family without meaning to. Because we both know what it’s like to lose the one you love, and that old saying about how it's better to have loved and lost than not loved at all? We disagree. Romance on the Reef is book four in this sweet military romance series and is told from both points of view in the first person with alternating narrators. Each book can be read as a standalone but they are fun to read in order!
