Lieutenant Apollo Floros may ace tactical schooling missions, but being truly a single father to his twin daughters is certainly a lot more than he are designed for. He needs live-in help, and he’s lucky a friend’s young brother needs a spot to stay. He’s surprised to see Dylan all developed with a college degree…and a college athlete’s body. Apollo’s widowed heart may still be damaged, but Dylan has his blood warming up.

It has been eight years since the teenage Dylan followed Apollo around like a lovesick pup, and it’s really about At At Attention time he showed Lieutenant Hard-to-Please that he’s all guy now–an adult who’s fully capable of choosing responsibility over lust. He can handle Apollo’s muscular sex appeal, but Apollo the caring father? Dylan can’t afford to fall for that man. He’s determined to hold out for someone who’s able to love him back, not someone who just sees him as a youngster brother.

Apollo is shocked by the strength of his attraction to Dylan. Maybe some no-strings summer time fun provides this former SEAL back to life. But the combination of scorching desire and warm passion is more than he’d anticipated, and the feeling between them scares him senseless. No fling lasts permanently, and Apollo should decide also important–his past or his future–if he wants to keep Dylan in his existence.
