Semper Fi

Newly widowed Grace James knows she’s at a crossroads. Raised by her aunt, she spent her life playing the role of the perpetual ‘good girl’—never rocking the boat, always fitting in. And where did that get her? She had an unhappy marriage, and now she’s singlehandedly raising two strong-willed teenaged daughters who have Trouble written all over them. Just once, Grace wished she had a different life. What would it feel like to be irresponsible, free . . . wild?

Then she meets two men who change everything.

Sergeant Josh Caven is a Marine, through and through. He’s also a single dad who’s going on deployment again—soon! He has to come up with a family care plan for his little girl, and he’s desperate. He tells himself that’s the only reason he shows up on Grace’s doorstep. Because maybe she could help—if she’s the mother who gave him up for adoption all those years ago . . .

Sergeant Joseph Kinlaw is also a Marine, though he’s retired now. But once a Marine, always a Marine. He put in his time overseas, and now he’s there for those that come home broken, mentally or physically. He’s a loner, his wounded warriors his only family. Until he meets Grace . . . and realizes she needs him as much as he needs her.
