Antonio returns from the Marine Corps to begin a new life as a civilian. While visiting Cape Cod, he meets a strange woman who reads his Tarot cards. He doesn't believe in such nonsense; after all, he's a Marine. When he returns to Boston, he receives a ticket to a rock club where he runs into the one woman he never forgot. Lina can’t believe Antonio is back in town, right before her wedding. Being around him again resurrects long-buried feelings. Will she be able to resist temptation in the form of a dark-haired Italian Marine, the same man who once broke her heart?

In the Marines, their relationship was forbidden. Will an unexpected reunion at a cat shelter fundraiser lead to a second chance? Vivi: My last deployment left me wounded, ending my military career. Now I’m a college student in Boston and volunteer at a nearby cat shelter. Spending time with the fur balls is my sanctuary from the real world. Until a fundraiser when I run into a man I could never have. I need to escape. I’m no longer the woman Jack remembers. No longer whole. Broken.

When my mom and sister drag me to a gala raising money for cats, I see the woman I haven’t been able to forget. We met in Okinawa and I’ve been wondering about her since we parted. I’ll ask her to dance. One dance. It doesn’t have to mean anything. But it could... One dance might lead to our second chance.
