I've been waiting for this book ever since I finished Ms. Apodaca's THE BABY BARGAIN. Logan Knight, former marine, has abandonment issues and now, the one place where he goes for solace is about to ripped out from under him by his controlling father. Suffering from combat-related PTSD, Logan will do whatever he needs to to keep the land that keeps him centered. Heir-apparent to the Knight family and their impressive Texas ranch, Logan only wants to build a camp for wounded warriors.Becky Holmes was a beauty queen who used her scholarship money to get a college degree and start nursing school. One lapse of judgement left her unmarried, pregnant, and then involved in a hit-and-run with the baby daddy driving--who then beat her. He's out of prison and is now coming after her baby. Becky is as emotionally fragile as Logan and when they find each other, they plan to keep the relationship temporary.Logan needs a wife to get the land he wants from his father. Becky needs protection from Sophie's psychopath of a father. It's a win-win, right? Where's the fun in that?!? The author thoughtfully addresses the issue of PTSD and treatment of returning veterans. She weaves a love story about two damaged people learning to love each other and becoming stronger as a result.Love the book, the characters, and the author!
