Four Letter Words

Seer Bradley is all sharp edges—whether it's knives in the kitchen, swords as a renfaire noble, or her quick tongue behind the bar. She likes to stay busy; protected within the glass walls she's built to keep herself, and her heart, safe and sound. One night with a handsome Scot tests the stability of her carefully constructed life, leaving her reeling. It's fine. Harry MacLaren is starting over. He's got priorities after moving across an ocean for the sake of his daughter—get settled in Texas, maybe find a D&D group, and try to forget the woman who knocked his world off balance this summer. Unfortunately, those priorities shift when he realizes that his one night stand with a witty bartender could jeopardize the community he so desperately needs as a single parent. Everything's fine. When Harry and his family need temporary refuge, Seer offers her home as an option, despite her better judgement. She thinks they'll be passing ships, relying on her walls to keep growing feelings in check. As they settle into a new routine, her edges start to dull, and Harry is determined to show what a life without walls could look like. It'll all be fine. Contains mature themes.
