In this second title in Etchison's series (after Here and Now), Danny MacGregor is a U.S. Army Ranger home in Myrtle Beach, SC, for required leave. Bree Dunbar is a recovering cancer patient who had been Danny's girlfriend in college before he ran away and enlisted. After ten years, they unexpectedly meet at a grocery store. Neither has gotten over the other. Danny convinces Bree that the best thing for both of them is a marriage of convenience—allowing Bree to make a second start while the army picks up her medical expenses. The plan is for Bree to get a divorce once she is back on her feet, but as one of the characters says, "Not all things in life go according to plan."
VERDICT Solid characterization and plot development make this a fun, sexy read.
