Forged by Sacrifice A Slow-Burn, Political Romance

From award-winning author LJ Evans comes a breathtaking, roommates-to-lovers standalone romance between a driven military man and the law student he can't afford to love... "My heart enlarged at a thought I'd never had for a woman... I wanted to keep her." Leaving his Navy career behind, Mac Whittaker is ready to join his family on Capitol Hill and pursue the political dream he's had since childhood. His goals are just within reach, and all he needs to complete them is a woman he adores at his side. Georgie Astrella is just getting her life back on track after putting aside her own goals for years. She isn't looking for love, a man, or anything that might deviate her from her given course again. She plans on losing herself in the law and nothing else. After sharing an intoxicating kiss at their friends' beach-house while on vacation, Mac and Georgie run in opposite directions. Neither can afford mere attraction to shift their futures. But Fate has other ideas, throwing them together until neither can walk away without losing a piece of their souls. When her family's past promises to make his future an impossibility, they'll have to decide just what they're willing to sacrifice for love. Inspired by Lewis Capaldi's "Bruises," comes a friends-to-lovers, military romance about dreams and family with vibrant characters on an emotional journey you won't want to miss. Also available in The Anchor Novels: The Military Brothers box set with an exclusive novella.
