Tragedy brought me home from war. Twice. The first brought me to her. The second might just tear us apart. Military life means tomorrow is promised to no one. As a captain in the Army, I understand that reality better than most. My focus has always been defending my country and protecting the men and women in my command. Until her.

With one shy smile and a few sassy comebacks, she shifts my world. Now my focus is protecting the single mom waiting for me back home. Even if that means defending her from me.
