Indigo Bay Sweet Romance

She threw her wishlist for true love into the ocean. Thirteen months later, a soldier wrote back. Jenny Hanford never actually expected the universe to answer when she whimsically tossed a message in a bottle-containing her strict requirements for a soulmate-into the sea. But over a year later, a reply arrives from Dare, a charming, kind-hearted soldier stationed miles away. What starts as a safe, exhilarating exchange of emails and texts quickly turns into a deep emotional connection. But flirting long-distance is one thing; risking her heart in the real world is another. When Dare is injured in the line of duty, Jenny is handed the opportunity to finally visit him face-to-face. Now, she must decide whether to stay safely hidden behind a screen or step into reality. If she goes, she faces her biggest fear: that the real Dare might not match her perfect dream hero. But if she stays home, she might lose the love of a lifetime. Tropes & Themes: • Military Romance • Epistolary / Pen-Pal Romance • Opposites Attract • Message in a Bottle • Standalone Romance

She's ready to sign the divorce papers. He has one final holiday mission: winning her back. Lizzy Hamilton wants to skip Christmas this year. Between the grueling shifts of working as a nurse and the emotional drain of trying-and failing-to save her marriage, she is completely out of joy. She's a pro at caring for others, but she desperately needs someone to look out for her, too.

Other than his Army Ranger platoon, she's the only family he has left. Mitch wants only one Christmas gift-his wife.
