Disarmed by Love

A Navy man with a damaged past. A beautiful woman enlisted to help him. Falling in love is the healing they both need. But it comes with a risk neither expected . . . When Fiona Sinclair's reckless ex-husband piles on the anxiety, the resilient single mom has the perfect outlet: her days spent whipping Navy men into shape through yoga, meditation, and-as one of her new students puts it-"e;all that New Age crap."e; For seventeen years, Lieutenant Dante Torres disarmed explosives. Stress level: over the top. Then one wrong move scrambled his brain. But nothing compares to dealing with a no-nonsense pint-sized fireball like Fiona. He has to admit, she's working wonders. In more ways than one. As things warm between them, Dante even discovers he can be of help to her: by becoming best buddy to her troubled young son. But when the boy's father pushes for custody, everything Fiona's worked so hard for is thrown into jeopardy, including her relationship with Dante. Now it's going to take all her resolve to fight back-for herself, her son, and the man she loves. Praise for Gail Chianese and her West Side Romance series!
