Monty and Risa meet in Las Vegas where he is on rest from fighting in Afghanistan and where she lives. It is a whirlwind romance culminating in an engagement. Monty goes back to Afghanistan for six months with every thought on coming back to Risa, the woman that makes his life make sense. Risa, though, has been hit with the horrible news that her parents have been killed on vacation in Europe, a deep and terrible cut to her heart. When she calls Monty to convey the awful news, he is remote and detached. She feels alone, lost and runs away to Marietta, Montana to try and come to terms with all that has befallen her in such a short period of time.Monty returns to the States and tracks Risa down, only to find that, even though the love is there, the trust is not. He suffers from his own demons from his last tour of duty, too. It is a push me, pull you kind of story with each character trying to love through the walls each has erected around their heart knowing that, somehow, love should triumph overall.
