The Marine Who Came Back (Casa Dorada Romances: Sweet Love by the Sea)

A Single Dad Forced Proximity Romance

I Signed Up to Host a Dating Show.
Instead, I Got My Ex… and His Eight-Year-Old Truth Detector
I arrive at Casa Dorada ready to host a glossy reality show about second chances.
Then I walk straight into Cole Whitaker—the man who left me fourteen years ago to join the Marines—and never looked back.
Now he’s the resort’s grumpy head of security, raising a sweet eight-year-old who steals my heart.
We’re forced to work together every day.
His dog decides I belong to their pack.
His son recruits me for his documentary.
Cole keeps showing up to save me from my co-host’s on-air romance stunts.
Between stolen glances, evening walks, and Caleb’s movie projects, I fall for him all over again.
But reality TV loves drama.
When producers threaten to air our private moments for ratings, I have to choose between my career…
or the family that’s starting to feel like mine.
Because if I walk away…
I might lose my real second chance.
