Military Romantic Comedy

When Zeke Deegan finds me mostly naked on the floor, I’m having a panic attack and gasping for air like a goldfish. 😰

Let’s just say, it isn’t one of my finest moments. 😅 And moving in with the hot, built, former Marine who is at least ten years older than me wasn’t on my radar when I came to Palm Springs. But my creepy boss makes the Big Bad Wolf look tame, and compared to my mother, Cinderella’s stepmother is a saint. 🐺

My life isn’t a fairy tale. It’s more like a B-grade horror movie, until Zeke and his house become my sanctuary. 🏠

I can’t get attached, though. 💔 He may give off dominant Golden Retriever vibes and has a dirty, delicious mouth, but my mother frequently reminds me that he’s too handsome, too rich, and way out of my league.

But he feeds me. 🍽️

Takes in my adopted (okay, stolen) cat. 🐱

And gives me one of his little felt monster creations. 🧸

Then I teasingly call him “Sir” one night, and the sizzling heat between us explodes. 🔥 He’s the Dominant to my Submissive, and the whipped cream to my chocolate pie.

But will I have the courage to tell him I want to stay, or will my tragic past and chaotic present come crashing down around us? 💕

Here’s the deal: J. L. Brannick delivers a steamy military romantic comedy where a woman fleeing her toxic life finds unexpected sanctuary—and explosive chemistry—with a former Marine who makes felt monsters, feeds her soul, and awakens desires she never knew she had.
