Publisher's Synopsis
Rachel: When my college roommate tries to fix me up with her creepy cousin, I do the only thing I can think of to waylay her unwanted matchmaking--I invent a boyfriend in the Navy. Every week for four years, I send a letter to my fictitious soulmate, Officer Elijah O'Donnell, sharing my innermost thoughts and dreams for the future. Which is why no one is more surprised than me when my military hero appears at my place of work and asks me for a date. At six feet four and bristling with blue-eyed masculinity, Elijah O'Donnell is very real--and he's read every one of my letters. I'm instantly drawn to him, and there's an undeniable attraction between us, but can I risk my heart on a man who's only existed in my imagination . . . until now? Elijah: After an honorable discharge from the Navy, I have one purpose in mind . . . to meet the woman whose words were sunshine on paper. My time in the Navy wasn't all plain sailing, and Rachel Carr's letters were my compass when I was adrift in emotional waters. Nothing could have prepared me for meeting Rachel in the flesh. She's every bit as beautiful as I imagined . . . and more. My selfish heart wants to claim her and make her mine, but I'm keeping secrets that could wreck us before we've even begun. Can we navigate the storm to our happily ever after? Contains mature themes.
