Book Description:
Military hero Tom Garrison is an expert in high intensity emergency situations. But after years of military service, all he wants to do is hide from the world. When single mom Jenna Atkins bangs on his door in the middle of the night begging for his help for her sick young son, Tom can't ignore it. He flies Jenna and her son to an emergency center that can help the sick child, but can he just walk away?
Despite his efforts, Jenna and Brian capture his heart—just as he captures theirs.
Both Jenna and Tom have battled life's surprises and been touched by tragedy. Can they overcome the past to open their hearts to love again?
Excerpt:
Reaching back
and securing his hands at the nape of his neck, he watched as the millions of
stars that had dotted the blue-black sky just a half hour ago blinked out one
by one in the morning light.
He didn’t want
to be alone for this moment, but it was more than that.
He wanted to be
with Jenna. Climbing into his truck, he headed over to the Jenna’s. There was a
light on downstairs in the den, which Tag hoped meant someone was awake at the
Atkins farm. Jenna had said that she had a lot of sewing to catch up on. Maybe
she’d gotten up early to get started before Brian woke up. With any luck, she’d
be awake.
Anticipation
rolled through him. Within seconds Jenna came bursting out of the front door
onto the porch. Despite the porch’s shadows, he could see from the light
filtering out from the den window that it was her. A smile immediately hit his
face, but then he saw the panic in her eyes when she came down the porch steps.
His stomach
clenched as the quiet peace he’d been feeling during the drive over shifted
into concern. Had something happened? Was that really why she was up so early?
