The Marine's Holiday Harbor

We made a deal.

Ten years in the military, then we’d find our own home and start a family. Ten years later, I transitioned out of the Navy. Caleb Quinlin stayed in the Marine Corps and broke my heart. A year ago, life capsized again. Now, I’m a single parent to my niece and nephew doing my best to make this lighthouse a home. This holiday season is supposed to be peaceful and perfect. Instead of Santa's sleigh on the roof, a Marine almost crashes a boat on the rocks.

 

He has a letter giving him co-guardianship.

He says he wants us forever.

But can he call a town where his past haunts him home?

A life with him has been my Christmas wish since we were children.  

 

Because Caleb...Caleb is my Heart.

 

We made a deal.

I broke it, and both our hearts. But the deal never included coming back to Camden, Maine. Anywhere but here. So, why am I risking my life sailing through a Nor'easter to a lighthouse off the coast of the one place I swore I'd never live? A letter I've been carrying for over a year in combat zones throughout the world. Two small children.

 

Number one reason. Brynn Reilly.

She's my first love, best friend, and the Devil Doc who patched me up more times than I want to admit.

I need her to trust my past won’t stop my forever with her and the children. 

Come on Christmas magic give this Marine one more chance.

Because Brynn...Brynn is my Home.
