      Chapter 1

      Five Years Ago

      W ho were you?

      What are you talking about?

      Connie sat in the stopped car and waved helplessly out the windshield.

      Who was I? Big John dominated the right seat of the rental car—he was broad-shouldered and tall enough to dominate any car, but this one was a squeeze. He squinted out the front windshield as if searching for a clue. Something Connie was lacking at the moment.

      "No, I mean who was I?"

      Being even less clear than usual, Connie. And that’s saying something, girl. You’re Sergeant Connie Davis and I’m Sergeant John Wallace. We’re getting married in two days. Pleased to meet you. He held out a hand as if to shake hers. Instead she grabbed onto it with both of hers and held on.

      He was right, her thoughts were usually clarified and tested inside her head before she gave voice to them. Only around John did she ever let that barrier down. She’d try again.

      Six months ago, I was here at your farm for three days. It didn’t look anything like this. The previously winter-barren Oklahoma fields now stretched out of view with wheat to the left and corn to the right. She’d never imagined that the four tall trees at the four corners of the cozy two-story farmhouse would be massively pink magnolias in mid-June. The wrap-around porch was embraced by roses in a thousand shades. It all looks so…homey.

      It is home. That’s why it looks that way. And we’d be there if you’d just drive that last couple hundred feet.

      But who was I then? I…ran away.

      She’d left abruptly six months ago in the middle of a devastating loss for the family. Grandpa Wallace, Grumps, had died. And, not knowing what else to do, she had walked away.

      No, she’d run.

      Had she thought she was protecting the family by removing the obvious outsider? She certainly hadn’t recognized that there was any more than sex between her and John. It wouldn’t be until she was barfing out her guts from pure terror against the sides of the Stockholm Cathedral that she’d come to understand that.

      Had she thought she was protecting her heart by running away? Instead, she’d run from the only man who recognized she had one. Another thing she hadn’t understood at the time.

      Instead she had wounded the man she’d been learning to love—the first ever in her life. Thankfully, John had forgiven her.

      But would the rest of his family? Their texts said yes, but her heart—and nerves—were far less sure. They were now just a hundred feet down the gravel driveway and she didn’t recognize it at all. The tall corn blocked her view of the barn where she’d rebuilt Grumps’ tractor. The house and its massively blooming trees blocked the view of the orchard around back.

      The only thing that made sense to her in the entire vista was John close beside her and looking worried.

      She hadn’t seen a single one of the family since that day she’d run, except for Big John of course. Their team had been deployed in Eastern Europe—on the types of missions that no one in Eastern Europe could ever know about.
