When I saw him I knew - I had been waiting for something just like this. And then, in the blink of an eye, he was gone. After giving up a lucrative career in Seattle, I was content with my life in Gig Harbor, taking care of my father during his battle with cancer. Until I met Garrett and he showed me what my life was missing. Passion. Desire. Love. Two weeks was nothing but to us it was everything. We scrambled to make the most of our short time together but bitter jealousy, painful truths and devastating grief forced Garrett and I to prove to one another that love can grow almost instantly. The memories we created were supposed to last, were supposed to carry us through our darkest moments. But what if Garrett doesn’t return? What if I never feel something just like this again?

My last deployment was the hardest. I knew exactly what I wanted and how to get it. Until my future was almost taken away. One simple request – stay safe – haunted me day and night. It was a promise that I couldn’t keep and when I returned home, I was ready to confess my secrets. But secrets weren’t the only obstacle Cami and I had to overcome. Our love, trust and faith in each other was tested forcing us to realize that before we could have a future, we needed to confront our past.
