Review
We all love Annabeth’s military men, personally, my favs are the ones entering a second act in life. Throw in a small town and some awesome friends and I’ll always be satisfied.
Caleb and Tony have a fling that’s not a fling, but they insist is a fling, with lots of introspection, pining and growth.
Despite their age gap and different life experiences, they also have some deep similarities that allow them to find a connection beyond their steamy compatibility. It made for a beautiful basis for something great. But first, they need to work through their baggage. Something they each give the other the strength to do.

Synopsis
Starting over after retiring as an Army Ranger shouldn’t be this hard...
For twenty years, I traveled the world as a special operations warrior. Newly retired at forty-two, I’m back in my hometown of Mount Hope, pursuing a second career as a small-town firefighter. My meddling sisters and best friends all have opinions about my life, but the only person who seems to truly understand me is Caleb, the younger firefighter tasked with my training.
After a lifetime of denying my attraction to other men, Caleb reminds me of everything I’ve missed out on. I’ve never even kissed a guy.
Until now.
Until Caleb.
Until I push our growing friendship to the next level. While sneaking around like a pair of teens, trying not to get caught by our coworkers, friends, and family, our sexy connection leads us to some...interesting places.
And it turns out that I like taking risks. I’ve never wanted a relationship, and neither of us should be fooling around with a coworker, but we keep courting danger.
The more time I spend with Caleb off and on the clock, the more I like him and the less certain I am about everything else in my life. The one thing I know for sure is that I can’t afford to lose this intense bond we share. Can we find our way from super secret to super real before the clock runs down on this fling?
OFF THE CLOCK features two coworkers with an age gap finding out that opposites really do attract and that first impressions aren’t always accurate. All the big emotions, small-town feels, and hot romance readers expect from this acclaimed author. While certain subplot threads continue throughout the series, each guaranteed happily ever after stands alone!
