Coming Home To You
Shera Hayes has spent the last ten years nursing the bittersweet memory of Luke Connors -the boy she loved, the man who confessed his feelings just before vanishing without explanation. In their tight-knit small town, rumors have swirled, but no one knows why Luke left or where he went. All Shera knows is that her heart never moved on. Now, Luke is back, attending a mutual friend's wedding, and the air between them crackles with unresolved emotions. But Luke isn't the same man Shera remembers. His once carefree demeanor is shadowed by something deeper-something he refuses to talk about. What Shera doesn't know is that Luke spent the past decade as a Navy SEAL, carrying out dangerous missions that kept him far from the life-and the love-he left behind. As secrets unravel and old feelings reignite, Luke must decide: can he open up about his past and prove he's back for good? Or will his silence cost him the only woman he's ever truly loved?

Mil SO (Military Significant Other)
My chest hurt as an empty feeling rushed over me. My breathing picked up as I clutched my chest. It was painful but yet, oh so familiar. Black dots swam in my vision as my heart beat wildly. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. Panic attacks weren't uncommon for me. I'd had them ever since the accident. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks as my face heated. It was getting harder to breath. It felt like the walls were closing in around me, and the oxygen was being sucked out of the room. "Iris! Calm down. You have to calm down," a voice sounded from a distance. It was too late; I was in full panic attack mode. My body shook as I sobbed in gasps. I felt hands on my arms but barely. I was too far-gone. The black dots increased as my breathing did. I'd done this too many times to know what was coming next. I hyperventilated until I passed out completely. ~ After a traumatic event that led to her family's death, Iris moves with her Aunt to California to try and start over. Iris Morgan grew up a military brat. With her dad in the Marines, she grew accustomed to that lifestyle, until she was ripped from it. Now she has to be the new girl all over again. Only this time, she has to keep her C-PTSD in check as well as survive a high school full of teen celebrites, cute boys, and around the clock drama. All Iris has to do is survive two years until graduation, but what comes after graduation may prove to be more difficult than high school itself.Complete
