Romance
Blurb:
Christmas Eve, 1967. Two strangers united by mutual loss find the love they’ve been searching for.
After surviving captivity in a Vietnam prison camp, Master Sergeant Abraham Marley Fiske longs more than ever for a loving family life, but he doesn’t believe it’s in his future. Then a promise to a deceased friend sends him to the woman who can make his dream come true.
Since her brother was killed in Vietnam, Angela Franco has been caring for her young niece. She never expected to fall in love with her brother’s best friend, but when she meets Abe, she can’t ignore her feelings for him. Having lost her brother, will she now risk her heart by planning a future with Abe?
Note: Angela’s Kiss was previously published as His Sister’s Kiss. This is a re-edited version and contains additional scenes.
Excerpt:
Angela gritted her teeth. A smart woman would have been afraid of an angry six-foot-three Marine, but a smart woman wouldn’t have slept with him so fast in the first place.
“Give the orders to someone else, Master Sergeant,” she snapped. “I’m not one of your damn soldiers!”
Not bothering to see if he’d reply, she left the bed, taking the covers with her, and trudged to the living room.
She’d just settled onto a corner of the couch and closed her eyes when she felt the cushion beside her sink. Abe wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest. Still angry, she contemplated shoving him away as he had done to her.
“I’m sorry,” he said, kissing the top of her head. “I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”
“I was just worried about you, that’s all. When I woke up, I wasn’t sure what was wrong at first.”
“It was only a dream. I get ‘em sometimes.”

Interesting dynamics.
The dreams of a soldier with PTSD can be hideously dangerous to a woman sleeping beside him. I hope she’s careful.
