Freebie with newsletter sign-up (as of 6-2019) The Soldier's Kiss is a prequel novella to The Forgotten Prince, Book 7 of The Wedding Series of contemporary romance novels. In their close-knit Columbia, S.C., community, widower and Army Col. Brooks Reed and his neighbor, outspoken artist Ann-Elise Jerakenko, are single and have no children at home, and therefore are an anomaly. They're also dedicated to their work and, at first glance, not particularly suited for a relationship, let alone one with each other. With the help of family-oriented friends and a stray cat, though, they just might open the doors that close them in. For more about Brooks' daughter, Harmon, and the continuing adventures of the reluctant royalty of the little-known kingdom of Bariavak, look for The Forgotten Prince, released in fall 2016. A Soldier's Kiss also updates readers of the A Place Called Home series on the married life of John Griffin, one of the descendants pledged to take care of his family's Far Hills Ranch in Wyoming. Read the romance that introduced Colonel John Griffin Jr. and Ellyn Sinclair in Book 2 of the series, At the Heart's Command.
