    About this ebook


    Special forces soldier Ben McKaslin returns home with a bum leg, a bad attitude and his career in tatters. Then, in one defining moment, an emergency has him leaping instinctively to the rescue and locking eyes with the captivating woman he left behind. Could this be fate's doing? After her own crushing setback, Cadence Chapman has learned to embrace life to the fullest. But she's also learned how to safeguard her heart. Yet, while Ben mends, sparks reignite between him and Cadence, and she realizes she still loves him to the depths of her soul. Dare she pin all her dreams on this embittered military man who has no idea how lucky he truly is?
