Breakout sensation Monica Murphy returns with a hot new contemporary romance—a heartfelt story of second chances, forgiveness, and redemption.
Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life.
I love him desperately, but he’s got so many demons, and if he can’t open up to me now, then he’ll never be the real partner I need him to be. I gave him a month, and now I’m out of here. If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me. . . .

Jen and Colin have been friends and part of each others' lives since childhood. Their lives linked by Jen's brother Danny. But Danny joined the Marines and Danny died. This even impacted both Jen and Colin's lives in different, but significant ways. A year after Danny's death, Colin and Jen are living together and hiding pieces of their past from each other. They harbor strong feelings for the other, however, will their past hinder their future?
I liked: -Catching up with Drew and Fable. -The pacing. The story moved a good pace and kept my interest. -Colin. He always meant well, even if he made mistakes. He lead with his heart, almost all the time. -The idea of trying to outrun your past. I think this is something most people can find relatable. -The overall theme of forgiveness. There is a lot of forgiving going on and I think it's important to acknowledge that forgiveness is an important part of growing and living.
This is not the epic romance a la Drew and Fable, but it is an enjoyable contemporary romance, and I found myself, believe it or not, totally sympathetic towards poor Jen. Girl just could not catch a break, until she did. =)
