Matty

A former Navy SEAL, a veterinary assistant, and fur babies!

She's his best friend's younger sister.

He's supposed to protect her, NOT fall in love.

Matty is back in Newport and that means Jenna's in trouble. She's crushed on her older brother’s best friend since they were kids. The yearning returns, leaving her just as awkward as she was back then.

Meanwhile, her ex has decided he wants to get back together. Never going to happen, no matter how hard he tries.

Her heart belongs to one man.


An IED ended Matty's career as a Navy SEAL K-9 handler. He's living near the sea and trying to figure out his next move when his friend asks him to look out for Jenna.

Only she isn’t his annoying little sister anymore—she’s all grown up and super hot.

But every guy knows not to hit on his best friend’s younger sister. No matter how strong the attraction—even when he pretends to be her boyfriend to convince her dangerous ex she’s moved on.

When their fake relationship starts to feel real, Matty vows to protect her at all costs.

Jenna belongs to him.
