I got lost in Montana, found a curvy waitress I couldn’t resist, and nearly killed a man for touching her.

So much for just passing through.

Three months out of the military, I have no mission, no family, and no clue what comes next except for a boring security job waiting for me in Seattle. Even the cross-country drive can’t hold my interest.

When I take a wrong turn, stopping for coffee in the next small town seems like my best option.That’s when I find Lacey.

She’s sweet, gorgeous, and has curves I can’t keep my eyes—or my hands—off. I should get back on the road, but every instinct I have tells me to stay.

Especially when a local cowboy decides humiliating Lacey is his idea of fun.

He’s wrong.

No one touches her. No one hurts her. Not while I’m around.

For the first time since leaving the military, I’m not lost anymore.

I know exactly what I want—Lacey.

But with no home, a job waiting in another state, and nothing to offer her, can I be the man she needs?
