One secret kiss. One silent promise. One life-altering letter.

Lucy Carr knew falling for her brother's best friend was asking for heartbreak -- especially when he was a Marine preparing for deployment. But one look from Caden and she couldn't help herself. What started as a secret romance turned into love sealed in ink and hope-filled letters... until the letters stopped.

Caden thought he was doing the right thing. Protecting Lucy from the chaos of war. From the broken man he's become. He never planned to lose a leg -- or lose her. But waking up in a hospital bed and finding out she's carrying his child? That changes everything.

Now back at Oakside, Caden must face the woman who refused to give up on him, the baby he didn't know about, and a brother-in-arms who's ready to kill him for breaking his sister's heart. He doesn't believe he's strong enough for any of it.

But Lucy never stopped believing in their dream... and she's not letting go.
