A touching story about finding forgiveness and love filled with emotional second chances
Army captain Sarah Anders has been running from the worst day of her life ever since the day the chaplain knocked on her door. Throwing herself into her Army career after the loss of her husband, she’s been trying to be a mother to her young daughter and a good soldier. But a freak accident has nearly derailed her career and losing the Army means losing the one thing that keeps her connected to her husband.
Army captain Sean Nichols has never been good at commitment but he never forgave himself for letting Sarah slip away all those years ago. But wars have a way of distracting you away from the loneliness of an empty home. For the last decade, he’s been focused on preparing his men for their next deployment and ignoring the quiet longing for something more. The one thing he is not prepared for is a little girl, who wriggles her way into his heart, despite her mother’s resistance.
When Sean and Sarah are thrown into a new assignment, they come face to face with the past they shared and the man who stands between them, even in death.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Scott's realistic second Fort Hood military contemporary (after Homefront) brings a soldier and war widow face to face with her ex-fianc . Capt. Sarah Anders was fired from a previous assignment and is now stationed at Fort Hood. She is tasked with investigating an ongoing fight between a lieutenant and his sergeant. Unfortunately, the captain of their unit is Sean Nichols, the man who broke her heart almost a decade before. As Sarah begins her investigation, she and Sean are forced into close proximity, and she soon realizes that he is not the same man he used to be. But Sarah feels that by following her feelings for Sean, she'd be betraying her deceased husband, Jack, and she's worried about how her new romance would affect her young daughter, Anna. Scott reveals the hard truths of how combat affects those who are left behind in ways that some can never fully overcome. The love story between Sean and Sarah is complex and uplifting, carefully juxtaposed against the brutal reality that life for those in combat is a very precious commodity. (BookLife)
