Their Independent Submissive — Marla Monroe

Darla has struggled to make a home for her son without his father's help. Even working two jobs, she barely makes ends meet. When Scope returns from the marines with a friend, can she trust them with her heart as well as her son? Scope has loved Darla since she was in high school, but there was a three year difference in their ages. When he decided to join the marines, Scope thought it was better to leave before he lost his good intentions. When he returned years later with a medical discharge, he never expected for her to still be in Perkins City and unmarried. Darla doesn't trust easily after Tommy's father walked away when she told him she was pregnant. Can she trust Scope and Gunner to stick around? She's afraid to trust her feelings for them, but they intend to prove they can always be counted on.
