A military hero. A runaway bride. Never enough time.

With one dance, one night, he claimed me.

Tired of holding things together and taking care of every responsibility for my family of sisters and a grieving father, I had begged the universe for something new. Then the county fair crowned me as the next Milk Maiden, and I gained the attention of Travis, the handsome stranger in town. The way he sang in my ear with his sultry twang took my breath away.

Life was suddenly good, even though Travis was only passing through.

She had more than one night written all over her face.

Fighting for my country came with some obvious downsides. Like meeting Marcie and not having enough time to spend with her before I left for overseas. All I wanted—no, craved—was to spend time with the woman. For one night. Afterward, it was back to checking my emotions, deadening myself inside so not a hint of pain would display outside. I made it a rule not to start anything serious. But sometimes a man needed a woman more than he needed air.

Marcie wasn’t just any woman, though.

If only time and logistics, and our meddling families, weren’t working against us.

Read Return to Glendale Falls, a new series by Zee Irwin, and join the Hale family of sisters as they navigate life, love, and triumph in the face of loss. Their heroes will swoop in and give them everything they deserve with a satisfying happy ever after. So cuddle up, read their steamy stories, and stay awhile in the small town of Glendale Falls.
