“No one’s ever chosen me.” Kick McKenna. The vivacious woman who gave my dead heart a new life. Who discovered my deepest secret and stayed. Who’s forging a new beginning with me. Our love intensified in a short time, but we both know forever isn’t guaranteed. After promising each other one day at a time, even this commitment is a gift I never would’ve asked for. And the nights? Kick is everything I crave. I’ll move any obstacle in her way. Be her white knight. But decades ago, I pledged myself to the mysterious Felidae Society. It’s a vow I still hold sacred, one I hope doesn’t conflict with this promise to Kick. Fortunately, she turns out to be the lynchpin of my research that I desperately need. As Kick’s empty nest days draw near, a vision of a future with her takes shape. I want more than a for-now commitment. I want it all. She’s my home. Yet I’m not the only one to break their vows to my found family. This new betrayal could mean war, but no matter what, I will protect my lady. Kick Home is the third book in the slow burn, steamy, seasoned Southern Oaks trilogy. Given the overarching plotline, it’s best enjoyed when read in order. Everything is turned up for Kick and Thomas in this book: the stakes, the suspense, the heat. You certainly don't need to have a chronic illness to enjoy this book, but if you do, Kick McKenna is the heroine you need.
