Description

Staff Sergeant Rafe Luna thinks he's got his life in order. Been in the Army for six years, just met some guys that could become good friends and has his sights set on being a command sergeant major. Focused on his career, he's knocked on his 'fourth point of contact' (in Airborne speak) when he tries to order some food at a fair and meets the one that his heart says is meant to "be with him".

Debbie Hansen has her focus on becoming an RN and that's all at the moment. She's had tunnel vision; working for her uncle during summers on the fair circuit selling French fries and lemonade and studying for her degree the rest of the year. There is no time or room in her life for a relationship with a soldier— though the soldier might have something to say about that.

What can happen when two focused individuals meet and feel attraction? Can Rafe adjust his plans to include a wife and family? Can Debbie fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse while being a military spouse and moving every few years?

In this stand-alone prequel to Jacen's With Me series, she'll take readers on a journey of love and discovery for Rafe and Debbie Luna, the backbone couple of her series.
