Jack

In the Marines, their relationship was forbidden.

Will an unexpected reunion at a cat shelter fundraiser lead to a second chance?

Vivi's last deployment left her wounded, ending her military career. Now she's a college student in Boston and volunteers at a nearby cat shelter. Spending time with the fur balls is her sanctuary from the real world.

Until a fundraiser when she runs into a man she could never have. She needs to escape.

She's no longer the woman Jack remembers. No longer whole.

Broken.


Active duty had its challenges for Jack, but reentry into the civilian world presents new ones. The biggest choice being what will he do next?

When his mother and sister drag him to a gala raising money for cats, he sees the woman he hasn't been able to forget. They met in Okinawa, and he's been wondering about her since that painful goodbye.

He'll ask her to dance.

One dance. It doesn't have to mean anything.

But it could...

One dance might lead to a second chance.
