Commanding Officer

And now I have a third, I am falling for her. When Mick finds out the shocking truth about Lucy’s fiancé, will he be able to get to her in time to save her? ** The mountain man’s virgin is an over the top, trope after trope filled love story that could never ever happen in real life, even if we wish that it could.
