Protected By the Loner

One grumpy ex-military tech genius + One curvy coffee shop owner + One mind-blowing night together = One steamy grumpy-sunshine instalove romance that will melt your ereader!

I’m a workaholic who’s sabotaged every relationship I’ve ever had. I don’t do relationships anymore, and I’m content with my solitary life.

Then I visit the new coffee shop by my office, and it’s love at first sight with the curvy goddess who owns it. But I hold back, because if I give in to my desire, I know I’ll ruin everything and hurt her.
And I’ll protect her from anything—including myself.
When a power outage destroys her data, I offer to help. What starts as an evening of me helping her turns into an intense and mind-blowing night in her arms.
And so I ghost her, thinking I’m protecting her.

But I can’t stop thinking about her and how my life is empty without her. When she shows up at my office, furious and demanding answers, reality hits: I’ve screwed up. Badly. I knew from the moment I met Vivian what I was missing, and now I’m devastated by the thought of staying alone. Now I can only hope the secret project I’ve been working on for her can win back her trust and prove I’m worthy of her love.
