title: Sunset in Laguna
author: Marti, Claire
description: Returning to Laguna Beach after four tours in the Middle East, Christian Wolfe leaves the military behind and buys a wine bar, vowing to keep his life simple. He fights to keep his devastating PTSD a secret and refuses to burden anyone else with his baggage. When stunning Kelly Prescott and her red stilettos saunter into town, she drives him past the bonds of his self-control. Successful in her father's stuffy law firm, Kelly's too compassionate to survive in the cutthroat world of corporate litigation. Leaving behind both family and courtroom drama, she moves to Laguna to become general counsel for a nonprofit veterans' organization. She didn't bargain on a gorgeous modern-day Heathcliff, and in Christian, she sees another kind of challenge -- one she can't resist.
