Snowed in with my grumpy, tattooed ex? This Christmas just got complicated. Grayson Seven years ago, I lost her to a lie. I was the soldier who came home to nothing—except memories of the girl I never got to love. Kaitlyn was sunshine and fire. She believed in me until a cruel lie sent her running, and I went to war with more regrets than gear. I never stopped loving her. Now she’s back, for Christmas, for her best friend’s wedding, and for the first time in seven years, and I’m not the man I was back then. I’ve got scars, tattoos, and a plan. She’s beautiful, confident, and still the only woman who I’ve ever loved. She thinks she’s just here for her best friend’s wedding. What she doesn’t know? I’m going to make her fall in love with me all over again. This time, I’m not walking away. Kaitlyn Second chances don’t come wrapped in camo and tattoos. Unless you’re me… and your ex is Grayson-freaking-Walker. We had a moment—right before everything imploded thanks to my stepsister’s lies. I left for college. He left for deployment. End of story. Until I come back to home for my best friend’s wedding and he’s standing there like a walking, talking regret. Only now? He’s not just sexy—he’s relentless. And I don’t know if I’m strong enough to walk away twice.
