When
it comes to writing my Marine books, I’m often asked what did I listen to while
I was writing? When it came to the holiday Marines, I had to listen to a
holiday playlist – particularly since I wrote these in May, June and July—with
temperatures soaring up to 100+ outside, finding the chilly, holiday spirit
took some serious musical assistance and some specific songs. Come spend
Thanksgiving with Charlie and Jana, and God bless all those who spend their
holidays defending our country and far away from their families.

Captain
Charlie Sparks faces an impossible task—assigned to a security detail for the
sister of a fallen Marine. The last thing Charlie wants is this beautiful woman
in the middle of a base in Afghanistan no matter what holiday she plans to help
them celebrate. But no one asked for his opinion, and worse, she’s everything
he adores in a woman and more…
Mourning what might have
been is a terrible burden…
Jana
Grimaldi had a plan—a plan to help her brother when he came home, but his death
in Afghanistan left a hole in her heart and a desperate desire to do something. With the help of
Congressman Sparks, she heads to Afghanistan to bring Thanksgiving to the men
and women who served with her brother. Nervous and uneasy, she finds an
unexpected—and familiar ally in Captain Sparks…
Not all wounds heal…
Charlie
was one of the first people to reach out to Jana, communicating via email when
her brother died—but coming face to face in the lonely desolation of the
holiday connects these two wounded souls…
Can
Charlie and Jana find hope amidst the heartbreak this Thanksgiving?
