A Gold-star widow and a disabled First Sergeant turned biker on a collision course with the one thing they have in common - the death of her husband.
Widow Wendy Truesdale is alone since her Father-in-law took her son Cory to Colorado for the summer. Wendy's ready to take life by the horns – her way. Her family is in for a big surprise – she's turned her Victorian house into a Tea Room and moved into the basement.
First Sergeant Leo Stephenson is at Fort Knox awaiting the surgery that ends his military career. Wounded, jaded and 'fresh out of give-a-shit' Leo lives for his Harley and his next drink. A fender-bender brings them together – on a collision course with the one thing they have in the death of Wendy''s husband.
De'Shane Haycroft wants Roger's role as Cory's father. Wendy isn't willing to give up her freedom. Leo's lazy smile and bad boy looks her have wanting things unsuitable for a grieving widow.
As Wendy struggles to be reinvent herself, sinister events reveal that Roger didn't take his problems to the grave. There are men after something he had, or something he knew. The trail leads all the way to Abu Ghraib and back to her tearoom.
Who killed Roger Truesdale – Iraqi insurgents, or someone else?

A new author and genre for me but a tale that stayed in my mind so much so I couldn't put it down. The characters were well drawn and their connections well thought out. So, apart from a few typos and a couple of missed words which lost it a star, I would definitely recommend this book.
I enjoyed the story. There were times it lagged but I push through. One two complaints 1) Errors -a lot . Needed to be edited again. 2) No epilogue. I like seeing past the end. Does she end up with Leo?
