Waiting to Love You

A woman with a secret to protect....

A man determined to be hers.

After spending my entire childhood moving wherever the military told us to, I finally put down roots in Tyson's Creek. My plan was simple-start a business and live a fulfilling life. That is until Seth Williams walked into my yoga studio and turned my world upside down.

I swore that I'd never fall in love with a military man, but the more time I spent with him the more I fell. One night I let my guard down, allowing the walls to crumble. After spending one amazing night together he was sent off to defend our country.

Then one day, over a year later, Seth shows back up-throwing my entire life into chaos again. I can't make the same mistake. I have to keep Seth away from my heart to protect the life I've built here-not for myself...but for our daughter.
