"Embrace."

Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. Working on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to lessen her debilitating anxiety attacks and begin to heal her heart. Her neighbor, single-dad Jackson Montgomery, his five-year-old daughter, and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard, has her eye. It doesn't matter that their attraction is undeniable--she swore she'd never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. Some wounds time can't heal, and some fears are too consuming to conquer. Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.
