This friends-to-lovers romance explores women in the military, the power of friendship, and the value of knowing yourself.

​​

The holidays hit just as Kiera finds herself torn between re-enlisting and fully committing to a military career, using her GI Bill to finally pursue a college degree, or saying yes to Alan’s unexpected proposal and starting an entirely different kind of life with him.

​

But before she can make any of those choices her Signal unit gets called out for a winter field training exercise—that’s when she meets Staff Sergeant Scott Wilson.

​

Thrown together on night shift, Kiera and Scott form a fast bond that deepens with each passing hour. When he invites her to spend Christmas with his family in Helen, Georgia, her initial hesitation is overridden by circumstance.

​

Helen is straight out of a dream: sprawling land, horses, warmth, family chaos, laughter. And Scott’s daughter, Dee, who captures Kiera’s heart instantly.

​

What begins as a quiet escape quickly turns into a rollercoaster of adventure, secrets, and a spark of unexpected romance—one that just might change everything she thought she wanted.
