Love on the Defense Marika Ray

When you've lived your whole life on the defense, true love isn't something you believe in anymore.


Dean


This girl should have a warning label: comes with baggage. But hell, we all have baggage and mine is saying I need to save Brinley. She pushes me away at every opportunity and then drops the most ridiculous jokes that catch me off guard. She's so much more than a beautiful face. I want to show her how a real man treats the woman he loves. If she'll let me.




Brinley


I had a nightmare of a childhood surviving the abuse of my father. Through it all I've had one goal: become a professional beach volleyball player. My life plan was going so well until I met Dean, a gorgeous lifeguard determined to save me from myself. And don't get me started on the crazy Beach Squad that tries to befriend me and pull me out of my shell.




When everything I thought I knew about my past changes, can I find lasting love with Dean while still achieving my pro career?




Love on the Defense was formerly titled Beach B!tch. Love on the Defense is the second book in a series of small town romance novels with a splash of humor. If you like strong, sassy heroines, witty banter, and happily ever afters set at the beach, then you'll love Marika Ray's Beach Squad series.





*Warning: This novel does contain some brief flashback scenes of childhood abuse (physical, mental, emotional), and explicit sexual content.
