They’re crazy in love, and they can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together. Everything should be sunshine and rainbows. But even true love doesn’t guarantee a smooth path to happily-ever-after when you’re a career soldier. First there’s the gigantic task of bringing all of their friends and family to West Point for the big day. Then there’s the stress of making their wedding exactly what they both want it to be. Add in the threat of a last-minute deployment, a little family tension and a freak snowstorm . . . and it’s going to take all of their friends’ help and support to give Jacey and Owen the day they deserve.

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.

Duty. Honor. Country. 
Love. Romance. Passion. Addison The last thing I wanted was to move back in with my father, the hard-ass who raised me in the same strict military style that he ran every platoon, company, and battalion he led. But thanks to some of my, uh, ‘life choices’, I’m living with my dad at West Point—and everyone knows me as the commandant’s wild daughter. I hate it. Until I meet him one night at a party off-post. Sure, he’s a little too straight and serious for me, but still . . . he might be the one addiction that I can’t quit. Sawyer I’m an Army helicopter pilot. It’s my life, my dream and everything I ever wanted. Being stationed at West Point is fine for now, but I see it as a stepping stone for my next big move. When the commandant asks me to keep my eye on his out-of-control daughter, I agree to do it. I’ll do anything to keep advancing my career. Until I meet her. Running into her at that party isn’t as random as she thinks, but pretty soon, I find it hard to remember the real reason I’m spending time with her . . . I just know I can’t stop.

Duty. Honor. Country. Love. Romance. Passion. Paige For way too long, I’ve been silently and hopelessly in love with a guy who doesn’t see me as anything but his best friend. I stood by and watched as he found a woman to love—and as she dumped him the day of their wedding. I haven’t given him even a hint about my true feelings. Until the day he asked me to be his pretend girlfriend. Now that he needs me, I finally have the chance I’ve been longing for—to show him how perfect we can be together. Wyatt My life was perfect. I was about to graduate from West Point and marry the most beautiful girl in the world all in the same day, then launch my career as a brand-new second lieutenant. When my fiancée dumped me, I thought I’d lost everything. I didn’t know how to go on. Until the day I panicked and asked my friend to be my fake girlfriend. She saved my ass, and now I find myself looking for reasons to keep her close . . . because it turns out I don’t want to let her go.

Willow I only knew his first name. The night we met, we were only having fun. It wasn’t serious. It was one last fling before real life took over. I knew I wasn’t ever going to see him again. But I was wrong. Dean I didn’t ask for her last name. She was a spontaneous night of fun right before I went back to West Point and football. We were only together for a good time. I knew we couldn’t have anything real beyond that one night. But I was wrong. And when we meet again in the most unexpected way, I find out that one night of fun could cost me my career and all of my goals. It could mean the end of her dreams, too. And it all started on one fateful night . . .
