Nick Hutton was everything a girl could want. Tall, dark and totally Marine.

“I fell in love with you the moment we met.” Those are the words he whispered as we stood face-to-face in the moonlight the night before he left. He promised after that tour of duty we would start dreaming of a happily-ever-after.

In my heart I knew he was my forever. The universe had plans for Nick Hutton and Charlie Cooper.

After a devastating accident brings him home, everything changes. Broken and scarred, my Marine pushes me away when he needs me most, shattering my heart in the process.

Then, a year and a half later, as unexpectedly as he disappeared, Nick is back.
