Do I need to read the first book in the Out of Uniform series before this one?

While this story follows the events of the first book, it functions as a self-contained romance that can be understood on its own. You will encounter characters introduced in the previous installment, but the central relationship and conflict are specific to this volume.

How does the presence of the children affect the pacing of the romance?

The twins are a constant, active presence throughout the narrative, which creates a distinct domestic atmosphere. This dynamic forces the characters to navigate their growing intimacy in short, stolen moments rather than through uninterrupted time together.

Synopsis

Lieutenant Apollo Floros is a widowed single father of twin daughters, and he is struggling. He can run a tactical training mission without a hitch, but home is another matter. He needs live-in help, and a friend's younger brother happens to need somewhere to stay.

That brother is Dylan. Eight years ago, Dylan was a teenager who trailed after Apollo with a crush. Now he has a college degree and an athlete's build, and Apollo notices.

Dylan has grown up enough to put responsibility ahead of desire, and he is set on holding out for a man who can love him back, not one who sees him as a kid brother. Watching Apollo with his daughters makes that harder.

Apollo, a former SEAL, is caught off guard by how strongly he is drawn to Dylan. He thinks a summer fling with no strings might bring him back to life. Instead the heat arrives with real affection, and that unsettles him.

A fling has an end date, and he has to decide whether his past or his future matters more if he wants Dylan to stay. This is a male/male contemporary romance with a military hero, a single-dad setup, an age gap and a friend's-sibling dynamic. It is the second book in the Out of Uniform series.
