Hard To Forget — Dawn Luedecke

He is the most charming drill instructor on the base, and can get any woman he wants. So why is he falling for the one off limits to him -- the Captain's daughter?

Coast Guard Petty Officer First Class Mike Flynn is an expert at two things: training recruits, and getting women into bed. But after the Captain had him arrested on a trumped up charge, he has only one thing in mind. Revenge. What better way than to make the Captain's daughter fall in love with him?

Hope Daunt isn't looking for a man. Romance is for her wild, college-bound sister. Not her. Hope just wants to work, and fight her illness. After all, the only thing Cystic Fibrosis has given her is several deadlines for her life. So why would she want to put a husband through the pain of losing her? No. She will never let herself fall in love.

What Flynn doesn't expect is to be the one to lose his heart. In order to convince Hope to return his affections, he must sacrifice everything he's become to be the man she needs. It isn't until he falls madly in love with her that he discovers her secret. But is it too late?
