Fallen Billow should be
in college like most of her friends, but instead she’s raising her brother and
working as a housekeeper at a vintage local hotel. It’s back-breaking work, but
not nearly as challenging as fending off unwanted advances from the hotel’s
owner.
Thomas McHugh is
fighting for our country, across the globe and decades before Fallen Billow was
even born. So there’s no way they’re soul mates. There’s no way he can be
desperate to see her, hold her, kiss her. Except there is.
Is it a dream when he
inks his name on her skin? Is it a delusion when she puts her hands on his face
and says she loves him? Nothing has ever felt more real.
Fate has etched paths
for Thomas and Fallen that even time cannot touch. A Purple Heart proclaims
Thomas’ valor and bravery. And his death. But Fallen dares to dream of the
impossible. She wants Thomas to stay. Just stay.
A tribute to all who
have served our country, this novel honors the impossible beauty of love and
the endless power of hope. Come open your heart and celebrate the many facets
of bravery with Fallen and Thomas.
Uncle Tommy,
I wish I had known
you. You died in World War II. I know you had no wife, no kids, no descendants
other than your brother’s children. I’ve often wondered how life would have
been different if you’d lived.
My mom never met you,
but you’re talked about a lot. My grandpa, your brother, told us your stories.
He was hilarious, and I guess you’re together now. That’s a good thing. I know
he missed you. And I was proud of the stories I heard about you.
I’ve felt helpless
because there’s no fixing the past, but now I realize maybe I can. This letter
is to thank you for your sacrifice, but I went further than that. I finished
the book I promised your niece I would write.
Hopefully, after
people read this, you will be known. It is my dearest hope that you will be
remembered. My readers are incredibly generous with their hearts, so I know you
will be loved.
We haven’t forgotten
you.
And we love you.
Deb
