A woman with a past...
A Marine that can't move on...
The only thing they have left is each other.
Grace Witherwood has the perfect life. She has a beautiful home. A handsome husband. She doesn’t have children, but God has a plan for that, she’s sure. When her church decides to write letters to soldiers overseas for their annual service project, she’s so excited that she makes the perfect homemade sugar cookies and brings her large collection of rubber stamps and custom cardstock. Too bad no one seems to care.
Anders “Ares” Gonzales is done with war. Done with the military. Done with fighting. He’s seen too much and done too much. He’s got nothing and no one to return to, though, so he keeps going. If he’s the most reckless, no one can fault him. That’s just bravery.
When Anders gets a random letter, he almost throws it away. He doesn’t need pity letters. Except this one is on fancy paper — and is covered in the most ridiculous series of stamps he’s ever seen. The handwriting is too nice to be a child’s, but what grown-ass adult puts unicorn stamps on a letter to a marine? It almost pisses him off. It also makes him smile.
Grace and Anders strike up an unlikely friendship that connects them across the world. When Anders returns home injured and Grace finds out her life isn’t as perfect as she hoped, the two will need to work together to save each other from the ruins of the lives they thought they needed to live.
A sweet and steamy fade-to-black romance
