When he's called home to care for his ten-year-old nephew, no one is more shocked than he to run into Emma again. Or to still have those same feelings.

But young Matty's situation tugs at her heartstrings and there's no way she can't help him...and Jackson. She may have hotter-than-ever chemistry with the soldier, but forgetting the past isn't easy.
