Front Lines to Home Fronts

She calls him hers to deflect a problem. He takes it as a promise. Trisha Hendrix has spent her life running: from memories, from expectations, from anywhere that felt too permanent. Fresh out of the military and exhausted down to her bones, she touches down in a tiny lakeside town with a single goal-rest, then move on. What she doesn't expect? The bartender whose smile could light a blackout. Lorenzo Ingram is warmth wrapped in flannel, the kind of man who remembers strangers' drink orders and gives second chances like it's a hobby. When Trisha impulsively calls him her "boyfriend" to shut down his overeager ex, Lorenzo is all too willing-and pleased-to play along. But what starts as a deflection becomes something else entirely. Because Lorenzo sees the woman beneath the armor-fierce, lonely, extraordinary. And he knows, instantly and absolutely, that she's his. Trisha tells herself it's just a stopover. Lorenzo is determined to prove it's the beginning of forever. This short read is MF with a guaranteed HEA.

In the quiet after grief, he's the warmth, strength, and love, she didn't expect.  Nearly a year after losing her cousin-the one person who always believed in her-Iona Pennington is finally ready to fulfill his last wish: deliver a sealed letter to someone in the tiny mountain town of Frostfall, Vermont. It should have been a simple trip. A quiet goodbye. A chance to finally breathe again.  Then the snowstorm hits.  Nearly stranded at the airport with all flights canceled, Iona literally runs into Colton Hugh-a broad-shouldered, soft-spoken man heading the same direction. Instantly he knew she was the one made for him and convinces her to share her rental car with him offering to help pay and drive. The drive is slow, icy, and far too intimate. When they can't drive anymore because the roads are closed, the hotel room only has one bed. Colton falls first, hard and fast, for the brave ex-military woman grieving a loss she tries so desperately to hide. Iona tries to keep her distance, but there's something about him-steady, protective, quietly kind-that makes her chest ache in a way that feels dangerously close to hope.  By the time they reach Frostfall, the storm outside has nothing on the one inside her heart. Delivering the letter will change things. She's sure of it. What she doesn't expect is how deeply Colton becomes part of that change-how naturally he takes her hand, how fiercely he stands beside her, how easily he makes her believe love might not just be possible…it might be waiting for her.  In a small town blanketed in snow, grief finds healing, strangers become soul-deep connected, and one woman honoring a promise discovers a new one forming:  She's not alone anymore.  Not with him.  This short read is MF with a guaranteed HEA.   Aliyah Burke is a USA Today Bestselling Author who's an avid reader and never far from pen and paper (or the computer).
