Melanie Woodside, ER nurse and single mom, has endured suffering of her own. Her neāer-do-well husband bailed after learning she was pregnant with their first child. Now heās back and threatening her new life. When a hot Marine moves in next door, Melanie has more than enough on her plate, without trying to heal her new neighbor as well. But a handsome man battling the wounds of war is hard to resist, especially when he and her son take an instant liking to each other. And having him close makes her feel safer.
Will Everton is a hero of the Iraqi conflict, according to the Marine Corps, his friends, and his family. The problem is, he feels more like a mess. Plagued by headaches and nightmares, Will just wants solitude to glue his wounded psyche back together. That means keeping his distance from his pretty new neighbor. But when her son refuses to recognize the boundaries between Willās house and his own, neither Will nor Melanie can resist a little boyās pleas for togetherness. If Willās presence deters Melanieās ex, all the better.
Can Will trust himself to be the strong, steady man they need? And can Melanie trust herself not to repeat the mistakes of her past? Fate brought them together ā¦ will it be enough to keep them here?

About Tamra Lassiter

I live outside Washington, D.C. with my wonderfully supportive husband and two daughters, one of which is approaching her teenage years. Help us all! If that isnāt enough, we have a Great Dane and an English Bulldog to keep us on our toes. Itās crazy around here, and I love every minute of it!
Writing is my third career. I didnāt set out to be a writer, it was just meant to be. My Mechanical Engineering degree from Virginia Tech prepared me well for my first career as an Engineer/Program Manager. My second career was in Human Resources. Long story, but I figured it out. I believe the best start for a writing career is to be a reader first, and Iāve been an avid reader my whole life. Iāve loved to read ever since I picked up my first Nancy Drew mystery in the fourth grade. Now, I love reading just about everything, but I donāt read sad books. I donāt watch sad movies either for that matter, no matter how many awards theyāve won. Lifeās too short, and who needs all that strife to bring us down?
Many of my words have been penned late into the evening, which explains why Iāve never viewed whatever television show you recommend to me. I would, however, love to hear your recommendations for a great read!
Thanks for hosting me today!
