Then there's Annie who's hiding secrets from her Army Ranger boss in Hawaii... Freya who discovered she is head over heels for her SEAL best friend... and single mom Ava who is lusting over the SEAL next door. CRAVING A HERO is a steamy military romance anthology with four happily-ever-afters and all the friends-to-lovers, small town, billionaire, grumpy/sunshine feels... ...along with four heroes who have honor, brains, and eight-packs. Craving: satisfied. MORE, PLEASE Allie: I know exactly what I want. And it has nothing to do with the hot Navy SEAL I picked up in a bar. Really... it doesn't. Since graduating from college, I've been juggling two jobs while fostering abandoned dogs, with my sights set on opening a rescue kennel. I'll do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means fighting back my cravings for the man who's been fueling my fantasies since I got my first taste of him in a hotel elevator. But when he slips his way back into my life, all I can do is remember that night... ...and ask for more, please. A IS FOR ALPHA Camden: Who put the "O" in Aloha? Yeah, that's me. Camden Sheridan. A guy who will bring you to "O" faster than you can text it. Former Army Ranger with the standard issue 8-pack. And now, a bartender who'll get you safely back to your hotel after too many margaritas… and you won't want me to leave. Believe me, you won't. I live life by my rules in my bachelor pad paradise here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Until a Ranger brother needs me to take care of his little girl while he deploys. A four-year-old cockblock in pigtails. My sex life comes to a screeching halt. Then the babysitter shows up - one who's got a fortress of secrets surrounding her. But I'll break it down and claim her as mine. If this kid will just take a nap. BFF'ED Freya: Mason Adler... Hot. Cocky. Sugar-coated Bad Boy. The type of man who knocks the big "O" clear to the front of the alphabet every time. Wrap up that eight-pack with Navy khakis and top it off with a shiny SEAL Trident, the kind that makes the girls swoon. That's Mason. My best friend. For me, he's off limits. Now that I've finished college, I need to focus on my writing career. And without his help, I don't stand a chance. But I need something from him. Something only he can give me. So I'll pull the blinds. I'll call it "research." And I won't let my heart get involved, especially with him leaving at the end of the week. Leaving me… even though my very soul is still in his grasp. ROMANCING CHRISTMAS Harris: I set the bar pretty low when it comes to the holidays. I have to. As a Navy officer, I spend plenty of them far from anyplace I'd call "home"… sometimes getting shot like I did on my last SEAL mission. So, yeah, I set the bar low enough that I can roll over it. That is, until I meet Ava. She's the type that bakes pecan pie, drinks egg nog, and goes caroling with her neighbors. I bet she even owns a stack of ugly Christmas sweaters. She's also got a son… and roots dug deep into this town that make life with a Navy guy like me impossible. Ava is the last thing I need. Yet she's all I want for Christmas.
