Off Limits Marine

Forbidden desire…

Marine Captain Gabe Pennington knows how to keep a secret—a little too well. He's been in love with his best buddy's wife since they met. And he can’t forget the stolen, passionate kiss they once shared. But now Annie Jennings has been a widow for two years, and Gabe wants her more than ever.

Except that Annie still isn't ready to say goodbye to her deceased husband. Instead, Gabe can only hope that the searing chemistry between them is enough to convince Annie to move on—and forget her promise to never again date military guys. Especially because Gabe still has one secret eating away at him. And it's a secret that could set Annie free… or destroy her faith in love forever.
