EXCERPT
He
skated toward me, and I paused, blown away with everything that was Josh. His
hair was sweaty, water dripping down his flushed cheeks from dumping his bottle
over his head. It was high school and college all jumbled together to make this
magnificent man in front of me. I’d never loved him more.
“I’ve gotten a little better since that first date,
huh?” I asked with a flirtatious smile, skating backward just because I could.
“You’ve
always been perfect.” That grin was enough to melt me despite the temperature
of the ice.
“Did
you have fun?”
“Yes.
I can’t believe you did that for me.” His eyes were warm, letting his love for
me shine.
“It’s
your dream.”
He
shook his head and took my hands in his much warmer ones. “No. It used to be my
dream. And as hard as I worked for it, and as difficult as it was to let go, I
can’t thank you enough for what you did for me. This”—he glanced at the empty
seats and bright lights— “has been more than I could have ever imagined.”
“I’m
glad. You deserve it.”
“The
jersey, the game, hearing my name, it was amazing. But what made it perfect was
seeing you against the glass like we were in high school again. Remembering
every time I told myself not to get close to someone as good as you are.
Thinking back to that day in college when I told you I was going to chase you.
Feeling the warmth of your hand over mine seeping through the glass during the
championship. Recalling every time I wanted to kiss you, hold you, tell you how
much I love you. I have that now, and you, December, are what made this
perfect, because you are all that matters to me now.”

There
are some debts you can’t repay.
Josh
Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl’s dream. But he only has eyes for
December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school hockey days.
Together they have survived grief, the military, distance, and time as they’ve
fought for stolen weekends between his post at Ft. Rucker and her college at
Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and Ember is headed toward
graduation, they’re moving on—and in—together.
Ember
never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army
dictates—even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a
country that nearly killed him once before and that took her father. But
filling their last days together with love, passion, and plans for their future
doesn’t temper Ember’s fear, and if there’s one thing she’s learned from her
father’s death, it’s that there are some obstacles even love can’t conquer.
Flight
school is over.
This
is war.
Rebecca
Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and
Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never
choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so she writes both. She's a
graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English,
but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The
Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top Military Mom Blog the last two years,
and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores.
When
she's not writing, she's tying on hockey skates for her kids, or sneaking in
some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of eleven
years. They finally can call Colorado home along with their gaggle of
rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog.
