Unexpected (Men of the First Brigade #1)

If Tyler doesn't shut up about the woman with the who made a wrong turn and found herself at the NSA guard booth this morning, I just might tie him up and leave him on I-95.

Since my wife walked out, Tyler's been playing matchmaker and somehow he's gotten it in his head that the tiny thing in the huge truck is the one for me. He's clearly engineering something, because when she joins our group for Boys' Night Out again and again, I can't keep enough distance between myself and that annoying woman.

Daphne is better than me when it comes to...well, everything. She's made a name for herself professionally, in addition to marrying a Congressman. She's got a better aim, drives a bigger truck, is weirdly knowledgeable about football, and the guys love her a lot more than me. That annoys me to no end.

I don't have time for the trouble another woman will bring to my life: expectations, manipulation, guilt trips...I'm not here for any of it. But Daphne, I learn slowly, is giving me plenty of distance even when I'm not sure I want it anymore. Because she insists she wants nothing from me, and she's got her own serious issues as her marriage to the Congressman disintegrates. But I'm suspicious of her motives, because I suspect there is one thing she wants, and the last thing I'm ever doing is giving my heart to another woman.
