Kellum Wall is still golden. I'm still unwanted. And being swayed by his cocksure smile will most certainly ruin my life all over again.Kellum I believe there are still good men left in this world, and I strive to be one. I was raised to live by a code. God and country. Protect and serve. I always do the right thing, even when it's hard--and yet, somehow, I've made an unforgivable mistake. I want what I lost. The woman, the child, the white picket fence. But it's not gonna come easy. Shay's a survivor. She doesn't believe in happy ever after, and earning her trust might be the hardest thing I've ever done. She's got my heart in her hands, though, and this time--I'm not letting her slip through my fingers.Hitting the Wall is a steamy, small town romance featuring a secret baby and a second chance at love.
