He came home from Vietnam carrying ghosts that wouldn’t let him rest.
She was bound by duty to a future she didn’t choose.

When Frank Briggs hides his shame behind exile and silence, Laurie Crayton can’t look away. His hands steady when she sits beside him, and on the day she’s meant to marry another, it’s Frank’s haunted eyes in the back pew that make her wonder if love is worth risking everything.

A story of broken hearts, quiet courage, and the love that refuses to let go.
