Ryley Clarke has grown up with the military in her blood, with both parents serving their country. Ryley knows the risks of being married to the military. But when the unthinkable happens, and her future husband is killed in action, Ryley can barely survive... until Evan's twin brother, Nate, helps her pick up the pieces.
After serving on a special mission with the military for six years, Evan Archer returns home to find the unthinkable - the love of his life, Ryley Clarke - engaged to his brother, Nate. With Nate on deployment, Evan needs to figure out what happened in his absence, and more importantly, how to win Ryley back from the man he once considered his best friend, but now thinks of as his rival.
I adjust so I’m facing her and hold
her hand again. “I didn’t die and I didn’t know they told you I died. We were
getting letters and care packages. Aside from being knee- deep in something
horrible, I thought you were waiting. I thought you were sending pictures and
letters about EJ and you. We tried to come home, but every time we were told we
were done, something would happen and bam we’re in the heart of it all again. I
wanted to be here, at times I thought about going AWOL, but short of walking
into a village and getting captured there wasn’t anything I could do.”
“I don’t blame you. I blame the
Navy. Why did they do this to us?”
I shake my head. “I don’t know,
babe, but I’m going to find out.”
