Sergeant First Class Sullivan Barlow has plans for her future and none of them include the guy she slept with in a night of weakness. Intending to forget the devastation of losing her best friend in Afghanistan, Sully woke the next morning still alone. Her only solace-she hadn't told the man her real name.

A career soldier, Tate Murphy has three more years in the Army until he's eligible for retirement. Seven weeks ago, he met a woman in a hotel bar and spent the night with her. He hasn't been able to get her out of his mind and can't believe his luck when he finds her again.

Then they discover their first night together resulted in something they never expected. She's pregnant, and Tate immediately proposes. Pregnant, struggling with survivor guilt, the last thing Sully needs is to learn her best friend may have died, but hasn't left yet.

Tate says, 'sometimes courage is an act of survival'. Sully fears trust is a casualty of war. Will she and Tate ever find it again either by themselves or with the help of those who have passed on before?
