Maddox by Mazzy King

Maddox: Spending nine months overseas at war was…rough. The dangers of war aside, so many things changed while I was away, and now going back to my regular life feels anything but normal.
My new neighbor is a gorgeous young woman with a five-year-old daughter. My buddy Rocco tells me she’s got a messy past relationship on her hands, and I vow to keep my distance.
But her daughter attaches herself to me after I locate her missing treasured doll…and when her mother comes to thank me, I can’t help but fall for this woman. Hard.
I need to come home finally…and she might be the key.

Roxie: After a fire destroyed the apartment I shared with my best friend, I tried to make the best of a bad situation and start over with my daughter Lexi. But my ex, her father, thinks I’m an unfit mother. He keeps threatening to take her from me, and since he’s a successful, arrogant executive with a high-paying job, he just might succeed if I don’t walk a straight line.
I need a place to live. I need a job. I need to care for my daughter and give her everything I can. The last thing I need is a complication…in the form of a man.
But the sexy, smoldering, emotionally wounded warrior next door becomes the apple of my daughter’s eye, and it’s hard to stay out of his way.
Scratch that—it’s impossible to want to.
