He left her for the war…

Ever since the day Army captain Trent Davila lost his life, he’s been fighting the demons that haunt him from that terrible day. Time and again, he’s left his wife and their two children behind as he’s volunteered to put himself in harm’s way until his wife had enough.

Laura Davila commits the ultimate sin for an Army wife - sending her husband divorce papers while he’s deployed. But she can’t take the pain of knowing he’s betrayed her by volunteering for multiple deployments instead of spending much needed time with her and their two small children.

He needs her now more than ever…

Sent home facing a court martial on trumped up charges, Trent begs Laura to stand by him this one last time. But being close to him reignites the spark between them that had almost been extinguished. And as the fight of his career threatens to destroy them both, their renewed love will be tested like never before.

He’s always got a joke…

Army Sergeant Vic Carponti always has a joke no matter how bleak the situation might be. He’s the guy who can make jokes in the middle of a firefight in Baghdad or when he’s getting sewn back up after getting blown up. But his sense of humor hides a fierce loyalty to the men he serves with and a devotion to his wife who he loves more than life itself.

But as he prepares to leave on his latest deployment into the violent throes of the Surge in Iraq, his jokes don’t seem as funny to his wife. Nicole forces herself to laugh at his redeployment antics but behind her laughter hides the darkest fear of every Army wife — that the knock on the door may be the news that destroys her world.

They both try to make the best of the deployment but when the phone doesn’t ring for a few days, Nicole starts to worry. And when the dreaded call comes telling her he’s been hurt, she’ll move heaven and earth to be there when her husband wakes up.
