Memories of Summer by River Ford

She's the one that got away. Can he convince her to give them a second chance?

Memories of summer

Brandon Fletcher has always loved Summer. The day she walked away and stopped returning his calls broke his heart. He tries to move on, but when he learns she’s been injured in the line of duty, he knows he will still do anything for her. 

Summer Blakeley never thought she’d make the army her career, but it was easier than facing her personal trauma. When her convoy is ambushed, she needs the peace only Sugar Creek can offer. If she’s lucky, she can hide at home and avoid the man she never stopped loving. Of course, Sugar Creek, Vermont, is a small town, and Brandon has been taking care of her parent’s house while they stayed with her overseas. 

He’s everything she remembers, and everyone is pushing them together—even the ghost of her dead commander. Will Summer finally reveal her secrets and accept the love she desperately needs?

Sample text:

"Are you reenlisting or heading home?”

“I haven’t decided.”

“You should go home.”

“What?” Summer stared at him. She’d gladly let him boss her around but for one thing. “You reenlisted.”

“I don’t have a family worrying about or waiting for me. You have a life to—” his words were cut off as the vehicle in front of them exploded. 

Orders came over the radio, but the words didn’t register before Summer’s world erupted in light, heat, and pain as their vehicle was violently lifted off the ground. She stared out the window as time stopped. Her life didn’t flash before her eyes. Instead, she saw all the might-have-beens. 

She saw herself standing in a white dress in front of Brandon. He smiled down at her while she held a baby in her arms. She saw the camping trips with the family they should have created together. And lazy days on the lake, as well as sunsets from the porch of a house in the mountains of Vermont. Those thoughts winked by in an instant before she slammed to the ground, and darkness claimed her.
