A FLING MIGHT BE JUST THE
THING...
Gavin Donnigan left the Marine
Corps a shell of a man, hounded by guilt for deaths he couldn't prevent. But
teaching a self-defense class at the local gym brings some stability to his
life―along with a gorgeous woman who won't give him the time of day.
Zoe York lost her twin sister to
a freak car accident a few months ago. She's been struggling to bury her grief,
but it isn't until she signs up for a self-defense class with its distractingly
hot instructor that she begins to come out of her shell again. With the memory
of her sister telling her to live a little, Zoe decides a fling with
buns-of-steel Gavin Donnigan might be just the thing.
Soon they're sparring both in and
out of the gym. And for the first time in a long time, each is looking forward
to tomorrow.
It had been one helluva day
already, and it hadn’t even reached six yet. He’d secretly called dibs on the
last remaining treadmill, needing to run out some kinks.
Problem was, so had she—Pink
Yoga Pants.
Gavin Donnigan locked gazes with
her before eyeing the distance to the machine, then saw her doing the same. A
gentleman would let her go first… While an enthralled man would stand back and
watch her work those mag nificent glutes, those toned hamstrings and calves.
But Gavin was no gentleman, at
least, not in the gym. His domain. His jungle. His—
“Dude, you’re blocking the
Nautilus.”
“Oh, sorry.” He moved out of the
no-neck’s path, now no longer able to see the treadmill. When he stepped around
another idiot standing in the way, he saw her smirk at him as she stepped on
the machine. She kept his gaze as she slowly warmed up, making a huge
production out of stretching her arms up over her head, then grinning from ear
to ear.
He frowned.
She gave him a mock salute—the
sexy witch—then proceeded to ignore the holy hell out of him as she tuned out
the rest of the world and ran. Not jogged, ran. That made half a dozen times
she’d blown him off with that same smug expression. Then she’d pretend he
didn’t exist.
He’d like to throw her over his
knee and spank the ever-loving—
“Gavin. Today, Bro. We have work
to do before class.”
He groaned, needing the stress
relief from a good run. “But Landon, I need to work out first.”
“Fine.” The dick wrapped a thick
arm around Gavin’s neck and hauled him away in a headlock. “You want a
workout? Let’s see if you can get out of this. Then I’ll throw you on the mat a
few times and watch you flail as I beat your ass.”
Gavin sputtered, trying to
breathe as his behemoth brother dragged him down the hallway toward the
self-defense classroom.
Not cool to headlock a gym
trainer in front of his many clients. Gavin tried not to wheeze as he fought
Landon’s steel-hard muscles for breath. He glanced over and saw his nemesis
laughing at him. Crap. The damage had been done. He heard snickers, mockery,
and encouragement for Landon.
Major Donnigan. What an asshole.
The former Marine choking him
growled, “Now suck it up, princess, and let’s see your moves. If you can’t do
it, you sure as shit can’t teach it.”
Meet the Donnigans
With the eldest Donnigan brothers
adjusting to civilian life, their younger sister constantly in trouble, and
their little brother clueless about life in general, falling in love is the
last thing on anyone's mind...
Can this Bossy Badass Marine...
The Marine Corps was everything
Landon Donnigan ever wanted in life...until a bullet sent him home with a
medical discharge. Teaching a self-defense class at the gym is old-hat for a
marine, but when he meets sexy Ava Rosenthal, his combat skills are useless for
protecting his heart.
Be her Mr. Right?
Ava
can take care of herself and likes quiet, bookish men-not muscular warriors who
think women need to be coddled. But Landon is more than he seems, and when they
come together, the results are explosive.
