Description

Forced to pick up her boss' estranged son from the airport, in on a two week leave for Thanksgiving, Sarah Wells must face Sgt. Daniel Hollenbeck, her ex-lover and man whose command her brother died under in the Middle East three years ago. Determined to reconcile father and son, Sarah's first attempt fails, leading to a heated embrace that resurrects old hurts. Why did Daniel choose war over her? Wasn't she important enough to keep him home? Plagued by dreams of his dead friend, Daniel Hollenbeck comes home, hoping to reconcile with his father, never expecting to see Sarah again. It soon becomes clear that his feelings for her have never died. Neither has the pain of her abandonment. Why hadn't Sarah loved him enough to support him in his call to duty? Pressures mount, hearts open and heal in time for turkey with a generous helping of thanks and a side of giving.

Excerpt:

"Here they come!" someone yelled, and the cheering crowd rushed forward.

Sarah moved away from the wall as the passengers began to waltz in. First, several civilians and a few businessmen and then one soldier after another came into view. Her heart stopped. Distorted images of Tommy's lumbering frame intertwined with the soldiers, and her chest tightened again. Every time she tried to focus on the present, the past barged in.

A few deep breaths helped to clear her head. She fought through the illusions of her dead brother in time to see Daniel before he saw her. She blinked, her panic momentarily forgotten as her gaze took in the man she once loved.

He'd changed.
