Army Ranger Dane Carlson never means to fall in love before leaving for another tour of duty, but unexpectedly, he does. While deployed, he finds himself being sent home early to the family ranch to make a heartrending decision. Little does he know he isn’t the only one making decisions. His first priority is to rekindle the flame after losing communication with Gracelyn Clark. The woman who owns his heart and has since the moment their gaze connects. But now, nothing is the same as when they met.

The first round of news is surprise enough, yet Gracelyn continues to release shocking information detrimental to their future. Can they make it work after so few days together seven months ago? Adjusting to many new things in his life isn’t easy as it is, so to pull himself back to the man he’s become, could be the biggest test of all—in order to protect his own.

Challenges abound even as Dane and Gracelyn come to terms with the decisions they’ve made. Whatever tomorrow brings, their only choice is acceptance—to take one day at a time and face life as it comes.

About the author

Mary J. McCoy-Dressel

19 books109 followers
Author of sensual contemporary western romance with strong family ties, paranormal romance on occasion, and romantic fiction—sometimes writing sensual love stories with less conflict and drama--other times dramatic and sexy for a more emotional and compelling read.

Early days of reading romance novels and women's fiction laid the groundwork for me to take up the pen and write my own memorable love stories.

I admit, I'm a true "romantic at heart." Other writers have always been my inspiration.

Soldier Cowboy Rancher

Dane Carlson is an Army Ranger and is leaving again for his next assignment. When he is stuck in the airport he meets a very beautiful woman and is drawn to her immediately. He had no intention of getting involved, but this is different. They seem to be made for each other, he can't get enough of her, and she feels the same way. This the beginning of their adventure, has fate stepped in to guide their journey?

Predictable

Predictable but enjoyable. Guy meets girl. Guy goes away. They keep missing each other but eventually find their way back together with several bumps along the way. Nice characters with much to love about them.

Very good!

This is what I would call a sweet romance story. Not overly descriptive of the sexy parts. This story is so good. It covers a lot of time and territory and I found it very enjoyable.

a slow disappointed

I have some books from this Author but for some reason this story just seemed to drag. There wasn't much suspense and I kept hoping it would get better. I'm sorry but I found this to boring.
