Forever My Guardian: Special Edition (The Ryder Brothers) by Dani Ryan

Can a man who never thought about leaving the Army and a woman scorned help each other discover what they need most?

I just came home from serving in the military and the last thing I'm looking for is to fall in love. When I learn a woman from my past needs my help, though, I step in and pose as her boyfriend. I'm not looking for forever with her and this is just me doing a good thing, at least that's what I keep telling myself. The trouble is, the more we're together, the harder it becomes for me to deny the very real feelings I have for her. Which is why it's not going to be easy to tell her this can never be anything more than a fake relationship.

Note: Every book in The Ryder Brothers series is an interconnected standalone and there are no cliffhangers.
