Air force captain Riley McCord has come home on medical leave to find one heck of a welcome reception. Every unattached woman in Spring Hill, Texas, wants to nurse him back to health. That includes his childhood friend Claire Davidson—the only person who understands how damaged he really feels. In high school, she chose his best friend over him. According to Riley's rules, that should make her off-limits forever. But when Claire suggests a no-strings fling, he can't refuse.
Claire always wanted Riley—but she also craved the safety and stability he couldn't offer. So she chose another path, only to end up crazier about him than ever. She's even convinced herself that this time she won't be devastated when he leaves. Yet once Riley realizes the depth of Claire's feelings—and his own—he'll have to make the ultimate choice: return to the job he loves or stay home for the woman who's always lived in his heart.

In the first McCord Brothers contemporary, bestseller Fossen strikes a patriotic chord that makes this story stand out. Capt. Riley McCord, an Air Force combat rescue officer, has returned to his huge family ranch in Spring Hill, Tex., to recover from an injury and PTSD. He thought the place would be deserted, which is good, as he doesn’t want to be seen in pain or in the throes of a flashback—but his childhood friend Claire Davidson, who’s now a wedding photographer, shows up with her young son to help him, and other women are lined up for their shifts. Claire’s not married and doesn’t volunteer any info on her son’s paternity. As the central relationship turns hot and sexy, side characters traipse humorously through the story. Complicated family backstories add depth to the main characters and highlight their need to let go of past hurts and move
forward.
