adventure army health love marines mature military nursing romance sacrifice

Marielle Rollins, United States Army, 1st Liutenant, Trauma nurse. 

Aiden Evans, United States Marine Corp, Captain, 1st Marine Regiment. 

After graduating ROTC, completing her nursing school, and finally becoming an RN; her life has been filled with excitement and busier than ever. Following in her grandfather's footsteps of joining the Army, Marielle Rollins seeks the opportunity to travel, and experience what it means to be an American soldier, doing it as a nurse and putting her military service to use by saving other people's lives. Being young, beautiful, headstrong, kind, and a spit fire at only 24 years old, she draws the attention of a certain Marine. 


Aiden Evans, bold, strong, sexy, daring, and an ego taller than the twin towers, he is the commanding officer of his merry group of the 1st Marine Regiment. Evans paid no mind to people's opinions and what they thought of him, that is until Lieutenant Rollins. Aiden was a catch, a real good catch, Aiden knew it too, that is until her. Kind, gentle, and totally the opposite, it was weird that the simplest things she did turned him on and the fact that men flocked in for her pissed him off. She was different and it wasn't because her PCs that looked absolutely sexy on her, but the fact she triggered something in him other than an his own fucking rifle. He wanted to keep shooting towards her, shooting towards her until she was nothing but his.All Rights Reserved

The Luna and Her Moon by kerfuffled_

At just eighteen, Anna Kilmer finds herself trapped in a continuous loop of forced prostitution and abusive treatment, unaware of how to get out. That is, until she decides to escape, oblivious to the fact she would run into the arms of another man who scares her like the rest. However, the funny part about Xavier West isn't that Anna is afraid of him because he's abusive; in fact, she's afraid because he's the first man to treat her with the respect she deserves. Unfortunately her struggles aren't over yet; she must integrate into Xavier's society of werewolves, pushing aside the remnants of her dark past to look forward to the future. The only problem is, her role as a Luna might become her breaking point; she may not be able to live the life she's always dreamed of living. "The Luna and Her Moon is a Werewolf Romance that follows a main character who has experienced sexual trauma in her history and is learning to love and live for herself. kerfuffled_ has written a story that does not gloss over the traumas that the character has experienced, and shows that people continue to live with these traumas whether they want them to stay in the past or not. If you're a fan of romance and shape-shifting canines, this slow-burn romance has tender and goofy moments that will keep you rooting for the couple." - @latchkeyy **COMPLETED** - Awards/Accomplishments - ~ 1st place in the Cerulean Awards ~ 3rd place in the Privus Awards ~ Best Opening Chapter in the Rainbow Awards ~ Featured on YA Fantasy ~ #1 in hurt ~ #1 in damaged ~ #1 in matebond ~ #1 in humantrafficking ~ #1 in trauma ~ #1 in saving ~ #1 in abusive contents ~ #2 in love **** WARNING: This book does contain rape/sexual content to some extent as well as violence.
