As foreshadowed in the prequel novella, this is the story of Beth and Walker. Beth is a female special ops soldier in Afghanistan. Injured on patrol her life is saved by Walker who has had the hots for her (from afar) since they first met.

They meet again a year later when she is finishing physical therapy and he is temporarily state-side. They arrange a friendly weekend of rock climbing, only for their plans to be derailed when Walker's baby sister calls to say she has received a creepy email suggesting she is being stalked. Against his better judgement Walker agrees to attend his older sister's wedding (with Beth) in order to get to the bottom of these emails. To keep his interfering parents off his back Walker asks Beth to be is fake fiancée.

But Walker's family isn't just anyone. Not only are they filthy rich but they are also extremely well-connected in Washington, extremely. And threats to the Walker family are very serious.

I really liked this, it was different to many military romances and Walker was a really great guy - definitely not an alphahole!
