Description

Desperate to save her coffeehouse from ruin, the last thing Leia Bellamy needs in her life is a man … especially when it's the same one who deserted her after their shotgun wedding when she was 20 years old.

But eight years have passed, and the young ensign she loved is now a hardened warrior and Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Aidan MacDermott.

When Aidan returns to Annapolis for the promotion ceremony of his former SEAL commander, all Leia wants to do is avoid him for his two-week stay… a taller order than she can manage since he's part owner in the ice cream shop next door to her coffeehouse.

Aidan barely resembles the man who reluctantly broke Leia's heart solely to protect her dreams of a future—a secret he never revealed to her.

But the truth comes out when destiny—and a lovable dog—seem determined to give Aidan and Leia a second chance at love.
