Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too. The soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. What she didn’t know was how she would find the strength to singlehandedly care for her crumbling family when her mom falls apart.
Then Josh Walker enters her life. Hockey star, her new next-door neighbor, and not to mention the most delicious hands that insist on saving her over and over again. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can’t deny their intense attraction.
Until Josh’s secret shatters their world. And Ember must decide if he’s worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare.

I don't know how Rebecca can make me ugly cry in the first chapter and keep reading, but she's done it. It's not just a romance book, but a story about December's grief journey and finding love and support along the way. And not just from Josh, but from her mom, her friends, and her her siblings. You can feel Rebecca's experience as a military wife pulled into the story, which really helps bring the story to life. I loved Josh and Ember's story and I can't wait to read their next books and the companion books about their friends!
