When Sawyer returns to Memphis to she tries to find the answer she’s always been waiting for.
Navy fighter pilot Garrison Cocuzzo is seeking solace and anonymity as he tries to fly under the radar during his break from deployment.

His plans of peace and quiet are quickly erased when Sawyer Kingham comes crashing into his life.
Sawyer seeks answers. Garrison wants tranquility. When the pair meet, Garrison knows he’ll stay by Sawyer’s side until she has the truth she’s been searching for. The real question for both of them is what happens after the facts are uncovered.
Oh Lyssa!! Yes, I do want to lick Garrison too. Your ability to write these alpha men who we want to throttle and then lick is why you are one of my favorite authors. Does he top Smitty? UHM NEVER but he sure does come in 2nd place very nicely.
Garrison is a bitter, broken Navy pilot who hides out at his grandfather’s house in a small town when he is not on his deployments. He has had a crappy upbringing, crappy girlfriend but he grandpa is the only one who really loves him and keeps it real for him.
Sawyer is a lost, broken soul. Her mom has passed and that was the last family she has left. She doesn’t know who her father is, so she is alone in the world and struggling with it all.
When the two meets, it was not under the best of circumstances. They were both at their worst and both seemed to snap at the other. When they spend a little bit of time together, they both realize the other person IS their soul mate. But ow can they make it work with him being I the military and her living in another state.
The story was sweet with Sawyer looking for her father and having Garrison by her side. He taught her that family doesn’t have to mean blood relations. While Garrison is teaching her she too is teaching him some life lessons…not all women are bad and sometimes families are a blessing and not a curse.
