Brandon Fletcher has always loved Summer Blakely. The day she walked away and stopped returning his calls broke his heart.

He tried to move on, but ten years later, when he learns she’s been injured in the line of duty, he knows he will do anything for her. Summer never thought she’d make the army her career, but it was easier than facing her personal trauma.

When her convoy is ambushed, she needs the peace only Sugar Creek can offer. If she’s lucky, she can hide at home and avoid the man she never stopped loving.

Of course, Sugar Creek, Vermont, is a small town, and Brandon has been patiently waiting for her. He’s everything she remembers, and everyone is pushing them together—even the ghost of her dead commander.

Will Summer finally reveal her secrets and accept the love she desperately needs?This second-chance, small-town romance is a sweet love story where a good man does all he can to help his love recover from the horrors of war and the secret she's kept for a decade. Possible Trigger Warning: war violence, death of friends, survivor's guilt, PTSD, reference to past sexual assault.
