Navy combat nurse knew it was a possibility. But she never thought it would happen. She never thought she would cut through a critically wounded Marine's fatigues only to find her fiancé, Tom Albanese. She never thought he would die in her arms. Or that she'd collapse against his commanding officer when grief, and heartbreak, overtook her. Fast forward one year, and Major has returned from Afghanistan to resume his position as the billionaire CIO of Reliance Software. He's happy to be home, and everything is business as usual-until he sees Kim Torres, the nurse he watched unravel in the military hospital, the woman he couldn't quite forget. Taking a job as a nanny to get away from her past, she doesn't recognize Owen at her employer's Memorial Day barbeque, but there's an instant attraction. Kim hasn't felt this spark in a very long time. Owen is the exact opposite of Tom, who wounded Kim's heart in more ways than one. But can Kim find it within herself to love-and trust-again? Especially when she realizes the secrets followed her back from the war zone.
