The Seal’s Anchor: A Tidehaven SEAL Romance

KIRSTIE One night out isn’t supposed to matter. Then he looks at me like I’m the only person in the room — and something I buried a long time ago cracks open.
I have one job: keep my daughter Emma safe.
After my ex who was supposed to love us both disappears without a backwards glance, I rebuild myself quietly, stubbornly, alone. I don’t ask for help. I don’t let people in. My daughter is my whole world, and that world has walls around it for good reason.
Then Josh walks across a crowded room and ruins everything.
I let myself feel it. Then he is gone.
And I am left picking up pieces I swore I’d never break again.


JOSH I come home from the SEALs in one piece. Mostly.
The parts that don’t make it back I keep locked down tight. I don’t do relationships. I don’t let anyone close enough to see the damage.
Walking away from Kirstie should be easy. I’m trained for harder things than this.
It isn’t easy. But I do it anyway.
When fate pulls us back together, I tell myself I can keep my distance. But she isn’t looking to be saved — and somehow, without me even realising it, she becomes the only steady thing I have left.
I need her. I just don’t know how to say it without shattering everything she’s spent years building.

He’s survived things most men don’t come back from. But it’s her that finally holds him still. She’s his anchor — and she has no idea.
