About this ebook

When honor is everything, love becomes the riskiest mission of all...

Lt. Nicole Riley has fought hard for her place among the Navy’s elite submariners. She expects her biggest challenge to be the cramped quarters of life undersea—not the irresistible man she shared a passionate night with before boarding. Now, stationed on the same sub and forbidden to fraternize, Nic and Lt. Kyle Hutchinson must fight not just temptation, but the career-ending consequences of their connection.

But when a scandal rocks the boat—and Nic’s safety and reputation are on the line—Kyle risks everything to defend her. Facing betrayal from within and battles from beyond, Nic and Kyle must navigate dangerous waters, where trust is a lifeline and love is the one order they can’t obey.

LOVE RUNS DEEP is a heartfelt, steamy contemporary military romance about courage, resilience, and the healing power of love against impossible odds.

Ratings and reviews

The story started dragging. I understand the plotline, but it was a little more overblown. Both of the main characters didn't use their brain for half of the story.

This story was an emotional rollercoaster so be prepared. It has snark, romance, angst, anger, remorse, betrayal and the possibility of a happy ending. The characters are relatable in that they show strength, courage, vulnerability, anger, misunderstanding, second guessing and sacrifice. I enjoyed this book, and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I loved reading this book immensely. It kept me going from page one until the end. a definite must read.
