By Brenda Harlen

On Sale: 8/25/2026
Her husband is a hero… 

And a stranger 

In five years of marriage, Caitlyn Chandler and her Army Ranger husband, Ellis, never actually had a chance to live together. And for the past twenty months, while he was MIA, she thought that the opportunity to fully share their lives was gone forever. But now he’s back on his family’s West River Ranch, working the land and living in a deserted cabin, alone, except for his rescue dog. Now they can be a family: Caitlyn, Ellis…and Rory, their fifteen-month-old daughter she never had a chance to tell him about. They’ve both been changed by their time apart, yet their marriage started with love. All they have to do is find it again. 

From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.
