Corporal Ella Bennett is looking forward to one thing: surprising her family after years of being stationed in Germany. She doesn’t expect to find her brother home on leave—or the three soldiers he’s brought with him. Charlie Ashford is cocky, charming, and far too confident for his own good. Owen never told his friends he had a younger sister, and Charlie certainly wasn’t prepared for Ella. She was supposed to be off-limits. She definitely wasn’t supposed to be beautiful. What starts as simple attraction soon becomes something neither of them planned for. Between long summer evenings, family barbecues, beach trips, and endless teasing, Charlie discovers that winning over Ella is much harder than flashing a smirk—and falling for his best friend’s sister might just be the biggest risk he’s ever taken.
