The SEAL's Sexy Neighbor — Leslie North

Friends. They're just... friends, right? At least that's what Navy SEAL Sutton Gray tells himself. But with his neighbor, Marisol, living just feet away, it's a constant battle to bite down on his unneighborly desires. Sutton's been alone most of his life—it's how he likes it—so he's reluctant to cave to Marisol's attempt at making him part of the apartment building family, no matter how much she brightens his days. But when she becomes the target of a shady character, not only do his protective instincts kick into overdrive…so does his burning attraction. Why did Sutton have to kiss her? Now it's all Marisol can think of. That, and his sculpted body and his dark eyes... She knows she's in trouble. And she's thinking thoughts no real friend should indulge in, but she can't help but be drawn to the gruff, battle-hardened SEAL. It's clear something about his time in the military is haunting him and she knows kisses alone, no matter how consuming, won't be enough to heal him. The more time they spend together the closer they get, but time is something that may be running out for them both...
