Army widow Jessica Palmer is in Burton Springs Montana for one thing—to start over. Although she's still coming to terms with her husband's death, she's ready to move on, determined to take advantage of whatever possibilities she discovers… as long as none of them involve another soldier. Major Walker Thorne, a 3rd generation West Point graduate, is in Burton Springs to recover from a battle injury…and decide what to do next.
Should he go on another tour of duty, take the Pentagon desk job his father's pushing, or quit altogether? And that decision becomes next to impossible when he falls for Jessica Palmer, and learns of her aversion to anything military. As they spend time together, Jessica realizes that despite it all, she still can't resist a man in uniform. Walker is someone she could see herself spending her life with. But how can she have the fresh start she wants, when she's right back where she started—praying for the man she loves' safe return?
