About this ebook

Can exposing their secrets give them both a second chance?

Ex-Navy SEAL Noah Mathis has buried his secrets from even his most trusted friends. But when he joins a gathering of the Band of Brothers in Marietta, Montana, for the wedding of one of their own, his encounter with the beautiful Gemma Wade has him suddenly questioning all the choices he’s made.

Bruised by love and on the brink of losing her job as a journalist, Gemma can’t afford distractions or—even more risky—romantic entanglements. She’s in Marietta on assignment, but she can’t seem to get her mind off the handsome ex-SEAL who wants her to be his plus-one for the long weekend. But when she innocently begins to dig around in Noah’s past, she uncovers the last thing he wants her to know.

And nothing for either of them will ever be the same.

Barbara Ankrum

Barbara Ankrum says she's always been an incurable romantic, with a passion for books and stories about the healing power of love. It never occurred to her to write seriously until her husband, David, discovered a box full of her unfinished stories and insisted that she pursue her dream. Need she say more about why she believes in love? With a successful career as a successful commercial actress behind her, Barbara decided she had plenty of eccentric characters to people the stories that inhabited her imagination. She wrote her first novel in between auditions and led to a publishing contract, but she's never looked back. Years later, she still believes in happy endings and feels very lucky to do what she loves. Her historicals have won the prestigious Reviewer's Choice and K.I.S.S. Awards from Romantic Times Magazine, and she's been nominated for a RITA Award from Romance Writers of America. Barbara lives in Southern California with her actor/writer/hero-husband, two cats and one scruffy, unrepentant dog at her side. They have two perfect grown children
