Title: The Marine's Reluctant Return
Description: She'd been the girl he'd always loved.

Until she married his best friend.

Now Crystal Stoker was a widowed single mom and Luke Stirling was trying his best to avoid her. That was proving impossible in their small town, especially when Luke learned her young son needed help that only he could provide. The injured marine was just looking for a little peace and quiet -- not expecting any second chances, especially ones he didn't dare accept.
