Unexpectedly, Kaitlin Jenkins is assigned to embark on a six-month work project. The trip will take her out of her comfort zone and far away from her family, her support network. As if that isn’t bad enough, the partner selected to accompany her is a man, a former Army Ranger.
Despite an initial attraction to him, she remembers the men from her past. She sets aside her feelings, keeping him at arm’s length.
Jeremy Roberts is making his first foray into the civilian world. Prepared to spend half a year on the road to fulfill the mission, he was not prepared when told Kaitlin will accompany him. For the first time since his divorce eight years ago, he is attracted to a woman, having feelings for her that he can’t control. But Jeremy only seems to bring out the worst in Kaitlin.
There is a mutual attraction, but their relationship is like oil and water. Life on the road is miserable for Kaitlin, being so close to someone she cares for, but apparently can’t stand. Jeremy also feels the strain, seriously considering a return to Army life in the Rangers. Then, when Jeremy comes to her aid on the worst night of Kaitlin’s life, everything changes. Will love be enough to overcome the difficulties between them and the challenge of life on the road as well as their bitter pasts?
