Gabriel Peña saw Robin's name on the list of pen pals, and he grabbed at the chance to reconnect with his old friend. He'd known her since seventh grade, their families lived across the street from each other, and he'd ruined it all with one single, stolen kiss. Robin Law couldn't believe Gabriel had contacted her. This was supposed to be a simple charitable Christmas card to a soldier - not a second chance to talk to a man who was afraid to commit and had rejected her. She'd chased him for years, only to have him up and join the Army without so much as a 'goodbye'.What kind of friend abandoned you after your first kiss?Obviously, Gabriel's timing was still terrible...She was getting married in four months. ***These standalone sweet, clean romances follow a team of soldiers that were once stationed in Afghanistan, bound by friendship. They can be read alone but if you read them together, their stories are so much richer.
