Love Me Tender

 Shawn

Nicarra was the love of my life, and I let her slip right between my fingers. I couldn't stick around and watch her live her life without me, so I joined the Navy and got the hell out of dodge. I've lived in my own personal hell for years, and I still have demons that I fight every single day. But now that I've moved back home, it's time for me to show Nicarra exactly how I feel. I have my sights set on her, and this time, I'm not letting her slip through my fingers.

Nicarra

Starting over from the bottom, is something I never thought I would have to do, but here I am, a single mom with three boys, striving to make life better for them and myself. My ex-husband made it his mission to make my life a living hell, but he didn't succeed. I'm strong, I'm determined, and now, I'm free. Shawn was my best friend for years, and now that he's back in my life, he wants more. For once in my life, I just want to be happy. Is that too much to ask?

But sometimes, the past doesn't stay buried. Someone is threatening Nicarra's life, and Shawn's one true chance at having a real family. Is this their second chance at love, or is the past back to haunt them both forever?
