Part of Series

He’s always avoided serious relationships, but she’s secretly loved him for years. When CIA operative and journalist Dan Callahan returns home, he finally realizes that fate might have other plans in store for him. Maria Santos moved with her mother to Wisconsin while her father was a patient at the Crystal Rock Wounded Warrior Home when she was only seven years old. When her father passes away and she has a difficult time fitting in, Maria and her mom find they have unexpected allies in Jake Loughlin and his wife, Danielle, the owners of the Dragonfly Pointe Inn, as well as their friends, the Callahan family. From the moment seventeen-year-old Dan Callahan runs across Maria, who’s alone and in tears at a party taking place at the Dragonfly Pointe Beach, Maria is smitten-especially after he promises her that his little sister Kelly would love to have Maria as a friend. Twenty years later, when Dan and Maria accidentally meet again at Dragonfly Pointe, sparks fly. Dan realizes that he no longer thinks of her as he would a younger sister. Maria has her MBA and has recently returned to Crystal Rock to accept an upper management job at the Dragonfly Pointe Inn. An award-winning journalist and CIA operative, Dan hasn’t had time for relationships, but seeing Maria again reminds him that life is short, and he wants more out of life than his job, as rewarding as it’s been. Priorities change, and even with a critical mission ahead, he realizes that he wants Maria and everything that life has to offer. But when Dan is sent to Afghanistan on a secret investigative mission, his assignment goes terribly wrong. Will their newfound love be strong enough to survive the devastating obstacles ahead?

Writing both steamy and sweet compassionate stories of fate that are wonderfully romantic, Tamara Ferguson is the 7X Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Winning, Amazon Top 25, #1 International and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Tales of the Dragonfly Romance Suspense Series, the Kissed By Fate Series, the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Series, the Daydreams and Dragonflies Sweet Romance Series as well as a participating author in the Hot Hunks Steamy Romance Collection. If you don't believe in the power of fate, you shouldn't read her stories, because Tamara always writes a happily-ever-after for her heroines and heroes, since it doesn't always work out that way in real life. Besides earning 2 designated GREAT ON KINDLE Selections, her stories have won over 35 awards (mostly for her Two Hearts Wounded Warriors) in the categories of Holiday Fiction, Military Fiction, Fiction Intrigue, Novellas, Mystery, Women's Fiction, Suspense, Fiction Thrillers, Short Story Fiction, New Adult, and Young Adult Romance. A member of the RWA, the Authors' Billboard, and the Independent Authors' Book Network, her stories have been included in several #1 bestselling anthologies, including those she's published under Tammysdragonfly. Since she remains a full-time caregiver for an autistic son (along with a bunch of adopted pets!), you can usually find Tammy working at home, where she spends a lot of time not completing her numerous home improvement projects, because she's writing or helping author friends promote their books on twitter. If you’d like to subscribe to her newsletter, she provides information about new releases as well as free books and available promotional sign ups and giveaways.
