When you see a book tagged with these words in our cover copy/book description, we’re making you, the reader, a very important promise:
This book contains a romance central to the plot and ends in an HEA or HFN.
Simple, right? But so important, we know!
Look for the Carina Press Romance Promise and one-click with confidence that we understand what’s at the heart of the romance genre!
Look for this line in Carina Press book descriptions:
One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!

OFF BASE
After trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zack Nelson wants peace, not a roommate—especially not Pike, who sees the things about Zack that he most wants to hide.
AT ATTENTION
Lieutenant Apollo Floros can ace tactical training missions, but being a single dad to his twin daughters is more than he can handle. He needs live-in help, and he’s lucky a friend’s younger brother needs a place to stay. He’s surprised to see Dylan all grown up with a college degree...and a college athlete’s body. Apollo’s widowed heart may still be broken, but Dylan has his blood heating up.
ON POINT
WHEELS UP
Dustin Strauss is no longer a twentysomething hell-raiser, he’s his SEAL team’s new XO—and a man with a secret. He has a kinky side and a fondness for the military-themed, semi-anonymous hookup website Joe4Joe, and he’s taking his relationship with his latest chat buddy, Petty Officer Wes Lowe, offline. But when the newest member of Dustin’s team turns out to be none other than Wes, the men realize they may not survive their next mission, let alone find a way toward a future together.
