His Little Army Brat: A Double Virgin Military Romance


Dakota Rebel - 2019

So, I’d gone to the bar for an innocent drink. One fight, one ruined shirt, and one cut-up hand later, I found myself sitting in the office of He-Man himself…also known as Dylan Phillips, my brother’s commanding officer. Now I was in trouble…I just didn’t realize how much. Dylan: I’d known she’d be trouble since the first time I saw her. Young, tiny, sexy as hell. A recipe for disaster. I never would have agreed to let her stay on base had I known I was going to fall head over heels for her. Now, I’ve got her right where I want her, and I’ll be damned if I let her get away. Originally titled Army Brat, this book was originally released a million years ago, but don't worry, I doubt you've read it...no one did.
