Hopper (Alpha Force Elite #5)

Hopper

After a deployment I’d rather forget, a night out with my guys is just the thing I need. We trade our normal haunt for a different bar, and there, the curviest, most beautiful I’ve ever seen challenges me to a game of pool.

The stakes get higher and higher, and when I run out of cash, I bet her a kiss—and I win.

It’s a kiss that rocks me to my core, but she leaves before I can learn her name.

I’ll do what it takes to find her again…even if she told me she doesn’t “do love.”


Rae

I don’t do love.

I had my daughter when I was eighteen, after my ex promised me we’d always be together. Well, he’s an ex for a reason, and I’ve been single for the past five years.

It’s hard for me to trust any man I’m not related to.

But when the hottest older guy I’ve ever seen challenges me to a game of pool, I can’t resist the chance to show off my skills.

He’s good too, and it doesn’t take long until we make a new wager—if he wins, he gets to kiss me.

I might have lost on purpose…and man, was it worth it.

But what I feel scares me. So I do what I do best—I run.

All I need is my daughter, and one fun night out and one amazing kiss with a stranger isn’t going to change that.

Besides, it doesn’t matter. I’ll never see him again.
