Marrying The Marine

Tall, dark and intimidating; Marine Eric Hill has just returned home from a tour of duty in an active war zone. Seeing the carnage of war has changed his perspective on the world and has left him haunted by the past he hoped to leave across the ocean. The world around him has remained the same, but he's changed and is unsure that he can ever live a normal life again. The only thing he knows for sure is that romance is off the table.

Or at least it is until he meets the strong, beautiful, and funny Celeste Bell. Recently divorced, she's given up on romance and love , but isn't against having a good time when she gets the opportunity. When she meets Eric on his second night back on American soil, there's instant chemistry and connection.

Will Celeste be able to soothe Eric's spirit and reawaken the man he was before the horrors of war or will she be left with just another broken heart?
