Just Friends - On Geneva Shores, #4 - E-book - ePub

Life experiences mark a person. The death of Sally Hughes' mother from breast cancer leaves Sally with a painful emotional scar and the discovery of a lump in her own breast frightens her to her core. When Sally meets Paul, the brother of her best friend's new husband, she learns that the former Marine is recovering from injuries sustained during his last combat tour in Afghanistan. Reacting to the demons that continue to assault him in the night, Paul insists he doesn't need more medical intervention, even as a leg wound refuses to heal.
As attracted as Sally is to Paul, she doesn't confide in him that she is leaving town for much-needed therapy. But after Sally returns home to Evergreen, Washington, with additional scars of her own, Sally and Paul begin a slow dance of attraction that blossoms into love after he convinces her that the marks each of them carry don't have to define who they are. Complications arise with the return of Paul's previous lover and discovery that Sally is pregnant with Paul's baby.
How can they resolve their fears, set aside the past, and reach beyond being just friends to make a life together?
