To First Be Friends
Shep Templeton was alive! Eight months before, after a night of reckless passion, he had left for his next dangerous assignment. She'd vowed then it was the last time Shep would leave her. Love for Emily was all that had kept Shep going, had made him want to live through months of pain and recovery. Now he had to fight for a new start, had to prove he'd changed, but would Emily beleive he wanted a family and a future together more than he needed his freedom? She was seared by his kisses and ached to be cherished, but how could she trust a man who broke promises as easily as he made them? Sharing secrets and spending time with Shep filled Emily with hope, but so many doubts remained. Could he convince her that he'd always be her best friend, that he was home to stay?
