Serendipity of Fate

Cason McPherson and his childhood friend Ryan Sparling enlisted to the US Army together. Years passed and they served on separate missions until years later when the US military sent in a ground strike team into the Kandahar Valley. Joined together again they entered the valley but only a handful of men came out. Ryan wasn't one of them.

Back home, and suffering from war wounds himself, Cason delivered the news of Ryan's death to his family. He watched as his best friend's mother wept and reached for him in comfort, but ensured - to fulfill his best friend's promise - that Ryan's younger sister, stoic and dry eyed, stepped back from him.

Sophie Sparling lost the brother she loved to war, but pours herself into her work to hide the pain. When her mother invites Cason, the man who had once been her brother's best friend and the last to betray him, to live with her Sophie finds a willing participant in the outlet for her pain. Her resistance and anguish to the horrific truth of her brother's death slowly begin to erode at her soul when she learns that Cason is a war hero.

Sophie and Cason are forced to face their loss and work together in healing the scars that mar their hearts in this heated romance.
