Once upon a time there was a boy who met a girl. They fell in love, got married and lived happily every after… Wait. Scratch that — at least the HEA, because in reality marriage is hard and being a Navy wife is harder and even lonely. So much so at times, that you think it’s better to walk away. Colette Thomas has spent the last ten years regretting that decision. Fate (and Uncle Sam) has given her a second chance. Too bad her ex-husband, Casey Thomas, wants nothing to do with her... moreOnce upon a time there was a boy who met a girl. They fell in love, got married and lived happily every after… Wait.
