She's his last case, he's her fresh start--two troubled ex-soldiers
find new purpose and a second chance at love in this new contemporary
western romance from award-winning author Kaki Warner.
Lieutenant KD Whitcomb had mapped out her career from West Point to the
Pentagon. But when an injury under questionable circumstances forces her
to leave the army, her dreams fall dead at her feet. Feeling lost and
needing to rediscover the tough woman beneath the uniform, she heads
back to the family ranch in Rough Creek. Only two things get her through
the nightmares and sleepless nights: the support of her family and the
CID officer investigating the incident in Afghanistan. He infuriates
her. Makes her laugh. Gives her hope.
Richard Murdock is struggling, too. There's something fishy about this
last case...and the threats coming from Afghanistan aimed at both him
and KD. He's ready to leave the army and make a new start. But how will
he protect KD? And what should he do about the growing attraction
between them? He's been burned before. But there's something about KD's
vulnerability and strength that calls to him, and he'll do whatever it
takes to protect her and give her a chance to build new
dreams...including helping her start a PTSD equine therapy program at
the Texas ranch.
If they can overcome the threats against them and heal old wounds, this
second chance might be better than they ever dreamed.
