A war-hero returns home to the girl he left behind — not knowing she's been raising his child for a decade.
Description
A Military Romance I lost my men. I lost my leg. I lost my career. And all I could think of was Lauren. I left for West Point with two things: a broken heart and a promise to never let it happen again.Now I'm back in Colorado as a war hero. F*ck that, I'm a celebrity.And every woman wants to open her legs for Captain America.So why do I only want her? *** Even with one leg, Mack Forrester hasn't lost his swagger. It's been a decade since he left. But under his tattoos, I still see the guy who broke my heart when he chose his country instead of me. I told myself I was over it. Over him. One glimpse in his crystal blue eyes and I knew it was a lie. Now he wants me back, but ten years is a long time. There's so much he doesn't know. Like, that I had his child.
