Under the illusion of safety, Ginny blossomed into a beautiful young woman with hopes and dreams for a future her mother was determined she would have.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Young, her best friend\u2019s oldest brother, was the dashing hero in all of her dreams. The man she fantasized about sweeping her off her feet and giving her the happily ever after she had only heard about in her mother\u2019s fairytales.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, reality wasn\u2019t what we wanted it to be, though.<\/p>\n<p>What would happen when Ginny found out Lucas wasn\u2019t her Prince Charming after all? Instead, he was a rough and tumble soldier in extremely tarnished armor who had a propensity to break her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe happily ever after wasn\u2019t meant for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Warning: This is the first book in a three-part serial spin-off from the Ex Ops Series.
