JUNE: I knew he was trouble. But I could not help it. I wanted him the moment I saw him. The air practically sizzles whenever we are together and being with him feels so ethereal. But being with a soldier is last thing I want. Not with my history… MARCUS: The moment I set eyes on her, I knew she was the one. One touch and I felt lit up. Never have I felt this way. A woman I can give my life gladly to protect. But June has been so independent for so long. She does not want anything long term. And for sure, she does not want to be with a soldier. This is a steamy, curvy woman, hot soldier, second chance at love story.

ETHAN: I know I messed up. What I did was wrong, and for ten years, I did not have the courage to face up to it. Leah is my first love. The only woman for me. Our connection is deep . . . and our sexual chemistry is off the charts. But how do I convince her that I’m here to stay? How do I win her heart so she gives me a second chance? LEAH: I knew coming back to Charleston would be good for me. I needed to be around family. But I did not count on Ethan. I did not know that after what he did ten years ago, my body would still tingle from his caress. But that is just my body. Even if I surrender to the passion, I don’t think I would ever surrender my heart to this soldier again. Will I ever get my happily ever after I always wanted?

I knew for sure I did not want to get involved with any woman. I had my reasons. A soldier doing what I do has no business thinking about love or white picket fences. But one look at perfect Michelle Sanders and I am floored. Her presence made me wish for more. She is an unexpected surprise. I knew she was not the type for a casual relationship. She wanted one anyway. Everything with her was perfect. Now, she wants to move on. But now I have feelings. Can I make her stay with me? Does she even want to be with a soldier?
