Temporary Home

Sometimes past demons need to be faced before one can embrace what the future offers, and who better to slay them than a Marine? Gunnery Sergeant Sam Hoch travels to the Pac Norwest upon receiving word his mentor and the closest thing to a father he's had has taken a turn for the worse and is in the hospital. Once there he meets a woman who is unlike any he's ever met before. A former Marine herself, she opens up her home to him so he can be near his family. Roxi Mammon isn't positive it's smart to allow Sam to stay with her, not with her immediate physical reaction to him. She's heard tales of him from her best friend, his sister, and now having met him she is even more impressed by the man the Corps has turned him into - a silent, strong type. Passion grows between them and soon she finds herself falling for the Recon Marine. And falling hard. As things escalate between them, Sam has to accept his past doesn't control him if he plans on keeping Roxi in his future. Can he understand that this is the one woman who can give him something more? Will he silence the fear within him and tell Roxi she's the one for him? Will he realize that he deserves more than just a temporary home?
