About this ebook

How can she become a new version of herself when she’s married to her past?

After two of his buddies found love through the military's matchmaking program, Lucas Craiger decides to give it a shot. He’s not necessarily looking for love, just companionship and a kind, reliable stepmom for his young son. When he’s assigned to his high school sweetheart who shattered his heart, his plan for an uncomplicated relationship becomes acutely complicated.

Riley Thompson signed up for the matchmaking program because she needs a fresh start—and the health insurance. She desperately wants to build a life with a man where her autoimmune disease doesn’t define her and she can prove herself. But being matched with Lucas isn’t the new beginning she wanted. He’s the love of her life she let go when she was first diagnosed.

Lucas is determined to make the most of this second chance with Riley, but when his custody battle heats up, his new marriage isn't the only relationship in jeopardy.

I really enjoyed Lucas and Riley’s second chance journey in Assigned by Paris Wynters, book three in her Navy Seals of Little Creek series. This is a story of two people signing up for a military’s new spouse-matching program, looking for much needed changes to their lives, who are matched with someone from their past. Seeing how happy two of his buddies were with their matches, Lucas Craiger decides to give the military’s matchmaking program a try. He’s not looking for love, just hoping for some companionship and a dependable stepmom for his young son. Getting paired with his high school sweetheart complicates his plan for an uncomplicated relationship. Riley Thompson signed up for the matchmaking program for two reasons; she needed a fresh start along with the health insurance. She wants to build a life where her autoimmune disease isn’t defining who she is and where she can prove herself. Getting matched with Lucas is not what she expected. Although he was the love of her life, Riley let him go when she was first diagnosed, not wanting him to focus on her disease instead of her. Lucas is determined to make this second chance a success. The attraction, chemistry and feelings are still there. It’s quite possible both Lucas and Riley never stopped loving one another. Not happy about the situation, Lucas’ ex-wife sets off a custody battle which not only affects him, but also his new marriage. It is going to take communication, understanding, and trust before Lucas’ world will calm down and he has a that second chance, or is it third, to prove his worth to Riley. Ms. Wynters wrote a passionate and emotional story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with chemistry, intense conversations, and endearing characters giving Lucas and Riley a chance for a future together. I highly recommend Assigned to other readers.

Lucas and Riley were sweethearts at one time but her illness caused her to turn away from him. When Lucas marriage came to an end he thought it was him and something he was doing so when his commanding officer signed him up for a program that matches couples, they found one for him. Little did he know that match would land him with his teenage sweetheart. Riley is just as shocked. Has fate garnered them a second chance to rekindle their love for a happily ever after?
