In Seaside, North Carolina, there
are two kinds of people: Marines, and kids of Marines. Then there’s Kat
Chandler. Recently hired as the principal of Seaside Elementary,
Kat makes it her mission to turn the school into a place of peace and calm.
That’s not going to be easy with hard-liner parents like Micah Peterson
storming in, telling her how to do her job—and then kissing her with those
gorgeous lips of his and turning her brain into mush.

That’s not going to be easy with hard-liner parents like Micah Peterson
storming in, telling her how to do her job—and then kissing her with those
gorgeous lips of his and turning her brain into mush.
As a Marine Sergeant and a single
dad, Micah Peterson has just two priorities: doing his job better than anyone
else, and getting the absolute best for his son, Ben. But when he meets Ben’s
beautiful new principal, a different yearning shifts into focus. He wants her,
sure, but he’s also moved by the connection Kat forges with her students. So
after learning that she refuses to date Marines, Micah sets two more
objectives: convincing Kat to give him a chance . . . and then holding on to
her forever.

“Have you
thought about that kiss?” she asked, as he leaned in close to fasten her
seatbelt. She couldn’t control what was coming out of her mouth. “Because I
have. A little.” She started laughing again. Val had warned her that she was a
horrible drunk, and evidently, it was true.
“What have
you thought about it?” he asked, his voice low and bristly. Her buckle snapped
into place with a loud click. He could step back now, but he didn’t.
And she
didn’t want him to. What was the point of being drunk if you couldn’t say and
do what you wanted, and then apologize for it in the morning? No one blamed a
drunk, they blamed the drink. “I thought that I liked it. The kiss. It was
amazing.” She held her breath as he lingered in front of her, his hand still
resting on the seat’s buckle.
“I thought
the same thing.”
“You did?”
She swallowed thickly, as her heart rode up her throat.
His brow
lifted. “You sound surprised.”
“I’m out of
practice.” She nibbled on her lower lip, drawing his gaze there. Then his gaze
flicked back to her ring. Just the thought squashed the flutterings in her
chest, leaving a deep ache that vibrated with the alcohol. “He’s been gone for
two years,” she said.
Micah’s brows
pinched together softly.
Explaining
about John in her state wasn’t a good idea, though. She might start crying,
which she didn’t do in front of others anymore, and right now all she wanted to
do was forget everything but their kiss. That she wanted to remember. “You
could kiss me again,” she said softly.
His smile
deepened and, damn, he smelled good.
Leaning in
closer to her ear, his hot breath melted her as he whispered, “Kat, you’ve had
too much to drink. I’m taking you home now.”
Before she
could process what he’d said, he stepped back and shut the Jeep’s door, the
sound as offensive as if someone had crashed cymbals in her ears. A moment
later, he reappeared on the driver’s side and cranked the engine, another sound
that made her wince.
She closed
her eyes, unsure of what to do with her drunken emotions.
“If I kiss
you again, I want to be one hundred percent sure it’s what you want. Not
because my almost ex is walking up and you want to help me out. Not because
you’ve had too much to drink and want to escape.”
She suddenly
felt very tired, as the Jeep Cherokee headed out of the parking lot. “So, you
are going to kiss me again?” she asked. Before she could hear his answer,
though, her eyes closed and the sounds of the road and his voice, and the blood
thundering in her head, blurred together. She remembered their kiss, the feel
of his stubble roughly brushing against her cheek, and the way he had smelled
like pine and fudge brownies.
No, wait. His
eyes reminded her of fudge brownies. He didn’t smell like them.
Her eyes
fluttered open. Yeah, she was definitely going to regret tonight in the
morning.
