______________________________________
Some mistakes from the past haunt us forever... unless fate steps in with a second chance.
One 'dear John' letter haunts Bobby Baker's every living moment. It’s the letter he stupidly wrote to his high school sweetheart, Belle, right after he left to join the Army. The letter that he told her that he wasn't so sure if they were ready for forever yet. But before he can let her know that the letter, and his second thoughts, are nothing but a mistake, she up and disappears from the small Georgia town they were both raised in.
Fifteen years later, Belle unknowingly walks back into Bobby's life when her job as an ATF Agent forces her to work with a group of men secretly headed by the CIA to help her track down whoever is involved in funneling black market weapons to a drug cartel in Mexico.
Bobby will use this mission to try and soothe Belle's hurt feelings while proving to her that their love is still meant for forever. He'll use every dirty trick he's learned since he joined the Army to maneuver her back into his life for the long haul. But Belle's not making it easy as she keeps him at arm's length in the hopes that mistakes of her own never come to light.

Excerpt
Planting
my hands on my hips, I growled, “You trying to tell me that you haven’t been
playing some kind of game? You disappear for fifteen years without so much as a
clue to where you’re headed, then waltz back into my life and try to pretend I
don’t exist? You don’t have the kind of love we had, Belle. Hell, you don’t
have a man like me—who’s had his mouth on you, his cock in you—and then pretend
like he doesn’t exist. Now, I’m telling you, I’m tired of this game and I’m
tired of fucking waiting for you to give me a second of your time so that we
can talk about this shit.”
Throwing
her hands up in the air, she stumbled backwards a few steps and then screeched,
“There’s nothing to talk about, Bobby! Besides, I didn't have the man's mouth
and cock. I had the boy's. There's a difference. A man, a real man that is, keeps his promises. Like the ones he made to come
back. A boy hasn't grown up enough to realize how important promises are to
keep.”
