I know finding and signing a military vet to the agency is a long shot–but it’ll be good press just letting him try out. That’s what I tell my family, rather than admit I can’t get the letter he wrote us five years ago out of my head.

But what I tell the bartender in his hometown is a lie. I know veterans protect each other. So I pretend to be a graduate student.

Sparks. Flame. Fire. I accidentally got in too deep.

I didn’t expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden.

And there’s no way I can admit to my lies now, not without destroying what we share. So I’ll keep faking it.

***

There are two versions of me: before, and after deployment.

Back then I was a screwup kid. I’d lie, cheat, and steal my way out of everything. My only love was baseball.

After I started fighting, I found out there had been another path for me. One that involved my dream. But by then I had seen too much.

The old me was dead, so I put my dreams to rest, too.

Then Chase Kinkade walks into my bar and reminds me that life is meant to live. No regrets.

Fresh. Happy. Hopeful. I can start to see a new dream, with her.

But sometimes things are too good to be true… and dishonesty is the one thing I can’t forgive.

This is the first book that I have read in this series and I am now going to have to get all the previous books in this series.
Chase is all about achieving her goals that she has set with being a sports agent at her family business where she works with top athletes and doesn’t need a man to distract her. One day she gets a letter that was missed for 5 years, after reading it she couldn’t stop thinking about him and what happened to him.
Gunner is such an amazing and adorable. He has loved baseball for as long as he can remember. That all changed when Chance walks into his life and turns upside down. Gunner is one of those book boyfriends that you want to meet in person and keep him has your boyfriend.
This book was a beautiful love story with emotions and family. I can’t wait to see what’s in the next one and read all the previous books.
