Layne Buchanan has been in love with Nash O’Brien since he was a teenager. Too bad Nash was interested in females. Even so, when he left town, Layne’s heart was completely devastated. He never really got over Nash, pining for a man he couldn’t have. Ten years later when Nash returns to Kendall, Georgia for his aunt’s funeral, Layne is blown away at how much the guy has changed. Nash has more muscles than Layne’s eyes can feast on, and he’s no longer the carefree boy Layne once drooled over. Nash returns to Kendall not only for his aunt’s death, but in hopes of rediscovering himself. He’s carried a heavy burden for the past few years, demons that haunt his dreams. When he runs into Layne, something inside Nash changes, but trouble isn’t too far behind him when someone from his unit is out to end Nash’s life. But Nash is just as determined to live, especially with a baby on the way.
