The Commander — Cat Johnson

Just when they thought they were out of last chances, love comes around again.

To his men on his SpecOps team, Hank Miller is simply the commander. They treat him like he's more than a mere man, but Hank would be the first to admit he is full of the same fears, feelings and desires. He just doesn't let them show.

The military is his life, and that's all he needs -- until he travels to Pigeon Hollow for a wedding and meets the woman his men reverently call “Mama”.

Lois Gordon is nothing like Hank envisioned. Instead of the plump, older woman happily baking pies in her farmhouse kitchen, Lois is a smart, sexy powerhouse who runs Gordon Equine…and tempts him to break all his own rules.

The heat between them quickly flares into a weekend fling hotter than Lois's oven. But with Hank's dangerous career and two failed marriages between them, forever could be too much to ask for.

Warning: Contains one smoking-hot mama and a man tough enough to not need pot holders to handle her.
