Forged By Sacrifice by LJ Evans

He’s a driven military man zeroed in on a new goal. She’s a struggling law student running from her family’s mistakes. They’re entirely wrong for each other…except their bodies disagree. When they end up as roommates, how long will it take before intense attraction shatters their resistance?
I’ve left my Navy career behind to reach for the political dreams of my childhood. All I need to do is keep the squeaky-clean reputation I’ve prided myself on for a few more months. It should be a piece of cake until a long-legged, dynamo enters my life. Until a single kiss with Georgie Astrella has me questioning everything I ever wanted.
Charming and suave may be Mac Whittaker’s middle name, but I can’t afford the distraction. Not when I’ve waited years to chase the law degree I put aside for my family. The stolen vacation kiss we shared must remain nothing but a faded memory.
Arriving in D.C., I’m stunned to find out my unseen, second roommate is Mac, and the chemistry burning wild between us hasn’t disappeared. Instead, it threatens to become a full-blown flame.
But with my family’s past threatening his shiny future, can either of us afford the sacrifice love would demand?

“My heart enlarged at a thought I’d never had for a woman… I wanted to keep her.”
