Sparks fly when a former bully moves in with her former victim in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s tantalizing third foray into Alpha Cove, a spicy military romance steeped in emotion.

Ex-fighter pilot Lincoln “Linc” Young is a survivor, masking his PTSD and nightmares behind a calm exterior. When his father’s death brings him back to Maine to help his mom, he never expects to cross paths with his former high school tormentor. But the woman who once made his life hell now stirs completely different emotions in Linc, and when he finds Harper in need, he impulsively offers her and her young son a place to stay.

Harper Bates thought she’d hit rock bottom after returning to her childhood home in Rockville, Maine. Then her father begins judging her every move—and worse, her son Kash, when they discover he’s being bullied at school. The last person she expects help from is Linc, the boy Harper herself had bullied years ago. Now a commanding presence who makes her and Kash feel safe, Linc inspires both a growing attraction…and lingering shame over her past actions.

Temporary cohabitation quickly turns into something more as Harper and Linc reveal intimate secrets that put them both on a path to healing. But they’re unaware someone else has a secret. And it’s about to impact the one person the couple can’t live without—Kash.

I'm A Huge fan of Susan's espionage/mission/navy seal type books, so when we go domestic, I know it's time to hunker down in a big armchair with a cuppa and relax. I'm not really into the tropes of children. and for me, this story was mainly based around the adolescent, with only the problems of the hero and heroine revealed once. it didn't get heavy so i guess it. sits parallel wiith the tone of the storyline.
for me. it was a cosy story, really well written as always, and I think every mother would like to have a little boy with the brains of cash, he's amazing, especially the way the world is today. So for me, not my most favourite. Because I do love Susan's action and suspense as in some of her other series, in fact, a lot of her other series, but it was nice to settle down and listen to a family story and have old characters pop up and just basically enjoy the ride. And I have to say, Andy Arnt, I haven't heard her narration for such a long time. It was so refreshing to hear Her again. Because she is so so good. So nice to hear You Again Andy.

Still a great story , just not my jam
