Duty. Honor. Country. Love. Romance. Passion. Lark Look, I don’t need a psychologist to tell me why I am the way I am. I grew up with a mom who was forever chasing her happily-ever-after, never considering the cost to herself—or to me. That’s why I’m not interested in fairy tales or in finding some elusive prince charming to solve all of my problems. Until I meet him in the bar where I work. One night of fun somehow begins to mean more, and it scares the crap out of me. Nolan I joined the Army to figure out what I wanted in life. I never dreamed I’d love it enough to make it my career, but now here I am, an officer, stationed at West Point, leading a company of soldiers. What started as an escape has become my passion—and it’s one that doesn’t have space for anything—or anyone—else. Until I meet her at my buddy’s bachelor party. I think I’m indulging in one meaningless night, but I can’t stop thinking about her. Remembering her. Wanting her.
