Can he trust her with his heart?
Army doc Caleb Carsten will do anything for his gifted son—even if it means returning to his hometown of Marrell and working for Leanne Sinclair, the childhood crush who once broke his heart.
Leanne is thrilled to meet Caleb again. But why can’t she remember more about their past, and what she did to hurt him so badly? And if Leanne can’t show Caleb she’s changed, will he ever trust her with his heart?
“We were all struggling, Leanne. You…me… Only no one else took it out on people the way you did.”
“And now, all these years later, all I can do is apologize.”
For something she didn’t even remember. Maybe that was what bothered her most. This was so significant to Caleb that he’d never let it go, even after all these years. As for her—she didn’t even remember it. How could that be?
“Look, I need to be going.” She gulped down the last of her wine and stood.
As she brushed by Caleb on her way to the front door she stopped, looked up, and for some unknown reason stood on her tiptoes and brushed a gentle kiss to his lips.
Suddenly he pulled her into him roughly and kissed her back—but not in the light way she’d kissed him. More like the way a hungry man kissed a woman he wanted. Craved. Desired.
And as his mouth opened to her, and she felt his tongue delve inside, she melted into him… into a kiss like she’d never had before. For that one moment everything seemed simple. He was a man, she was a woman, and they were both finally on the same journey.
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to meet the love of your life when you’re too young to understand what true love is about? My grandmother did that. She met my grandfather when she was seven, and married him when she’d barely turned fifteen. There was never anyone else in her life, and they stayed happily married until my grandfather died.
In Reunited with Her Army Doc Caleb and Leanne meet at just about the age when my grandparents met, and develop their first friendship. Maybe even the beginnings of their love story. But somewhere along the way life happens, they grow apart, have serious problems and go in different directions—both with hurt feelings.
They get a second chance, though, but their past problems get in the way of any kind of future they might have. Still, the love is there. Sometimes it’s difficult to find as they fight their way through so many years with so many hard feelings. The problem is, can they put aside everything they used to be and become the couple they’re meant to be? It’s not always easy, but their love, even through their struggles, always has a spark of optimism. But is that enough?
Coming up on my thirty-fourth wedding anniversary, I’d say it is—even though I wasn’t as young as Caleb and Leanne, or my grandparents, when I first met my husband. The important thing is that when true love arrives it’s worth whatever it takes to hold on to it. Just ask Caleb and Leanne.
As always, wishing you health and happiness!
