Blair
I left him on the tarmac one year ago with a promise that I’ll be here waiting for him when he gets back. Now we can pick up where we left off except he’s my brother’s best friend... and we haven’t told him about our history. I’ve been going through the motions of everyday life waiting for his arms to be wrapped around me again, and I refuse to let anyone stand in the way of my happiness, not even family.
Vance
One year is a long time to be away from the person you care about, but if it’s meant to be, she’ll be waiting for me. The only thing on my mind as I watch my ride pull up to the airport is finding her. I want her lips on mine, this ring on her finger, and the promise of forever. My deployment cut our time short, but nothing will stand in my way now. Not even my best friend.
Sofia
It has been twenty long years since I last laid eyes on the man who took my virginity the summer before leaving for the Army. His chiseled features and brooding scowl still make my knees weak, dredging up memories of tangled sheets and whispered promises.
I vowed never to let him close again after he abandoned me with just a terse letter. The sting of his betrayal is still fresh, even two decades later. Yet there he is, his penetrating gaze locking with mine from across the crowd. And my walls crumble…
Noah
The air rushes from my lungs as my eyes land on Sofia. She is even more beautiful than I remember - those soft curves, those full lips I used to devour, that luxurious hair tumbling over her shoulders. Guilt and longing churns within as memories of our nights together come rushing back. My military career has cost me the only woman I ever truly loved.
Having Sofia again, even under those conditions, will be utter torment. To possibly hold her, taste her, breathe her in... only to inevitably let her go after the weekend is over… The mere thought is agony, but one weekend is better than nothing at all.
HAYLEY
ShadowBrooke seems like the perfect place to hide for a couple weeks, make some money, and move on to another town before he can find me. But this town is tight-knit and before I know it, I’m staying in a spare bedroom in my boss’s brother’s house. It’s only for a couple of weeks, and then I’ll disappear into the night and just like every other town, ShadowBrooke will forget about me.
JACKSON
When Hayley steps into the salon, it’s over. She might try to hide her turmoil, but I’m trained to spot things like this. She is running from something, or even someone. When I find out the real reason she’s in ShadowBrooke, I take matters into my own hands and make sure she’ll never have to run again.
