Meant to Be: For Love of Country

Written by Jessica James

Narrated by Stella Bloom

What do you do when the person you most want to protect is the one risking everything to make sure you survive?

When Lauren Cantrell said goodbye to the guy she had just met on the beach, she had no way of knowing their paths would ever cross again. But fate had another unexpected meeting in store for them - this time in a place where danger was part of the culture and the stakes were life and death.

The last person in the world Michael "Rad" Radcliff expected to see at a special ops briefing in Afghanistan is the girl he met at the beach two weeks ago - the one he can't stop thinking about.

From the sun-drenched beaches of Ocean City, MD. to the snow-capped mountains of Afghanistan, this thrilling tale of espionage and intrigue takes listeners on a spellbinding journey into the secret lives of our nation's quiet heroes - and answers the question: What do you do when the person you most want to protect is the one risking everything to make sure you survive?

Meant to Be recounts the dedication of our military, the honor and sacrifice of our soldiers, and a relationship that is tested and sustained by the powerful forces of love, courage, and resolve.
