Dark Days of Promise Shaunna Gonzales

Thirty-four year old Vicki Laramie must learn to trust before she can love, but she might die trying. While Vicki's children grapple with the death of their father -- a man whom she's successfully fabricated as loving, a lie her rebellious teenager recognizes -- she must find a way to support her family and find a role model for her boys. She never intends to fall for Staff Sergeant Chase, her best friend's son, who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She'd much rather choose a safer man to love, but her children have a voice in the decision she makes. With two deaths to deal with, a suitor after her money, a rebellious son, and Sergeant Chase's repeated attacks, she can only hope to survive the danger she faces. If she doesn't, her children will be left without either parent.
