The Grunt 1

A battle-hardened Marine comes home to find his marriage in ruins and suddenly finds himself a single dad in desperate need of help. Enter Courtney, a fascinating contradiction wrapped in one unforgettable woman—a refined bookworm by day and a free-spirited ocean surfer by night who takes a live-in nanny job to pay for college. As Brett discovers what he's been missing all along in this intelligent, honest, and refreshingly genuine woman, the walls around his guarded heart begin to crack, but with deployment looming, he'll have to fight harder than he ever has in combat to keep what truly matters. This is a swoon-worthy, steamy romance that balances genuine heart with passion, celebrating the resilience of military families and the transformative power of finding your person when you least expect it.
