About this ebook

"After The War is Jessica Scott’s best book to date. It was a powerful and emotional book” - Smut Book Junkies

 

From USA Today bestselling author Jessica Scott, a compelling story of daring to love again. New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross calls it "beautifully written."

A touching story about finding forgiveness and love filled with emotional second chances

Sarah Anders has been running from the worst day of her life ever since the day the chaplain knocked on her door. Throwing herself into her Army career after the loss of her husband, she’s been trying to be a mother to her young daughter and a good soldier. But a freak accident has nearly derailed her career and losing the Army means losing the one thing that keeps her connected to her husband. 

Sean has never been good at commitment but he never forgave himself for letting Sarah slip away all those years ago. But wars have a way of distracting you away from the loneliness of an empty home. For the last decade, he’s been focused on preparing his men for their next deployment and ignoring the quiet longing for something more. The one thing he is not prepared for is a little girl, who wriggles her way into his heart, despite her mother's resistance

When Sean and Sarah are thrown into a new assignment, they come face to face with the past they shared and the man who stands between them, even in death. 

**Previously published as part of the Homefront series. It has been republished as it was originally intended as part of the Coming Home Series.**

Ratings and reviews

WOW! This one touched me in so many ways I don't know where to start. There are several stories going on in this one, each one special and unique. It's a touching reunion story between the H/h, Sarah and Sean, but the rekindling of their feelings for each other brings along feelings of guilt and great loss. This series sheds light on what our soldiers face once they return from war, and how difficult it can be dealing with day to day life while serving in the military. This is a fantastic story and I highly recommend everyone have it on their must read list.
