Publisher's Synopsis
Army Colonel Graham Holmstrom never expected that being widowed would lead to the conundrum he's facing. Either he remarries within seven months, or he'll be reassigned to a new post. With his adult children also based at Fort Bragg, he's motivated to keep the family together-even if it means conquering the challenges of dating in a new era.
Longtime USO volunteer Erin Downey is on a mission to connect with a member of the Army's Special Ops community. Recently divorced, she's not looking for love. She needs an inside look at the elite soldiers' lives to enable her to create convincing characters and missions to earn her shot writing for a military TV series. After meeting Erin on base, Graham resorts to opening a Facebook account to get in touch with her. First, he has to convince her it's him, not a scammer impersonating Army officers. Upon learning her reason for being at Fort Bragg, he makes an unconventional proposal: he'll arrange for her to observe one of his Green Beret teams for research if she dates him. There's no need to fake their relationship, but when a rival's wife ruins their fairy-tale romance by publicly claiming that Graham is using Erin to keep his command, their love is put to the ultimate test. Will their love survive the attack, or will it become a casualty of the battlefield?
