Codename: Dustoff: Barren Hill, Book Two
Emmett
I have one word for the holiday season. Ba-humbug! It’s the same song for me every year.
Another holiday alone. Not that I want to, but when you only have one arm, there aren't many ladies waiting for me under the mistletoe. Until I meet Amelia at an amputee support group. Not only is she beautiful and a bad ass, but she understands what it's like to feel incomplete. Except she's fresh from the battlefield with a forty-meter perimeter around her heart.
Amelia
I didn’t need amputee kumbaya. Every soldier goes into battle knowing the risk, even me. At least I got to come home. Being home at Christmastime was just a discomfort I’d have to get through. I hadn’t expected to meet a one-armed bar owner with a charming smile and a devil-may care attitude that made it all too easy to forget the crushing guilt of surviving.
When insecurities surface, will the pair be able to heal and find the love they both so desperately seek? Can two people who have seemingly given up on themselves, find purpose once again?

About the author
Willow Sanders
40 books327 followersMost of these are always written in third person, as if the author isn't the one actually writing them. So, I'm going to be a rule-breaker and write it in first person instead. I'm a native Chicagoan, vegetarian, and lover of big words. I randomly burst out into song, and have been known to carry on entire conversations (with those worthy of the challenge) in song lyrics. The same can also be said for movie quotes. I'm quirky, sarcastic, I've been told at times I can be a bit esoteric, but overall I'd rather be dancing in the rain than waiting for the storm to pass.
And I LOVE connecting with people- so go on, hit the "friend" button. :)

This book is part of the Codename multiauthor holiday series, a military fiction written by Willow Sanders. Emmett and Amelia’s story is emotionally gripping and engaging, with two interesting and endearing main characters. The supporting cast adds depth to the story, and the narrators did a great job bringing all the characters and emotions to life. #HighGravityProduction
