A Word from the Author
Jordan had been toughened up by a lifetime spent caring for her younger sister in foster care, followed by a career in the military. She is the caregiver that rises to the occasion once again when tragedy strikes and she finds herself sidelined by her own injury raising her nephew as her own. When the boy’s uncle shows up offering all the things she was never granted, Jordan should send him and all his billionaire reasons for being on her front porch packing. Soon though, she starts to realize just as many reasons she might want to keep the intimidating larger than life man around, and not all those reasons have to do with his relationship to her son.
This book is a love note for all the soldiers coming home with injuries having fought the fight of freedom. Hopefully we all have the chance to make them feel special, loved and appreciated.
