Carina Painter lives a life she created in between the pages of her bestselling novel. At least, that’s what she outwardly portrays. A heart-rending childhood followed by an abusive engagement leaves her broken in all ways possible. A chance encounter provides the fork in the road she so desperately desires.
Navy SEAL Smith Eppington is fighting the war of his lifetime. One that isn’t fought with weapons and highly sought intelligence. It’s a battle to remember his past. The accident that scarred seventy five percent of his body, and stole the life of his best friend also seized parts and pieces of his memory. When an author asks to interview him for a fiction novel, he’s ready to pour his heart out no matter the cost.
The friendship that blossoms between Smith and Carina is something extraordinary. It’s a living, breathing love story about finding yourself, change that is out of your control, grasping what you can, and letting go of everything else.
In a twist of kismet, remembering could destroy everything, but fiction may be what saves the day. A friendship built on new truths and a relationship torn apart by old lies collide in a poignant novel by International Bestselling Author, Rachel Robinson.
It doesn’t feel like I thought it would. It feels better. Carina tastes like victory, solace, and truth. I can’t stop staring at her, devouring every nuance of perfection. The high-pitched squeals of the children are drowned out by the sound of my heartbeat. They told me it stopped before I arrived at the hospital after my accident. Literally, I was dead—flat lined—sleeping with the angels. Scanning the planes of her face, rose-colored lips, and her soulful eyes, I realize why I came back. Her.
“But still terrifying,” she replies, smiling. Her eyes dance and she bites her lip. “To have so much to lose. To have so much. I’ve never had that before. I thought I did, but you’ve made me realize I was sorely mistaken.”
Rachel grew up in a small, quiet town full of loud talkers. Her words were always only loud on paper. She has been writing stories and creating characters for as long as she can remember. After living on the west coast for many years she recently moved to Virginia Beach, VA.

I haven’t read a great deal of romance with military members, but I did enjoy Captured by Jasinda Wilder. I’m sure there are several others that just aren’t coming to my mind right now, though. Otherwise, I’ve read some decent classics with military men and also a few women’s fiction books where women were in the armed forces (Kristin Hannah has one). Thanks for this giveaway. <3
