Loving the Soldier
Nurse Kirsten Bailey places her family above all else. She refuses to give former army medic Brady Hewitt any leeway for being weeks late in visiting his ill grandmother. But Brady has a good excuse, and he’s eager to show the pretty nurse that first impressions aren’t always right. While working with Brady to care for his grandmother and two orphaned boys, Kirsten realizes that his charm and kindness aren’t an act. But Kirsten plans on doing missionary work abroad, and she’s determined not to fall for the engaging soldier. Could the man she once dismissed be the one to make her stay forever?
“Brady, where are you?”
“In here.” Funny how her voice quickened his pulse.
“Ready to go?” Kirsten poked her head through the doorway.
“Almost.” As he gazed at her, he noticed the little blotch of blue paint on her cheek. Without thinking, he reached over and rubbed his thumb across it.
“You have paint on your cheek.”
“I do?” Staring at him, she rubbed a hand across the place he’d touched.
His mind turned to mush, and all he could think about was spending more time with her.
“Mr. Brady, we’re done,” a little voice interrupted. Zach charged into the room and stopped abruptly, making Tyler nearly bump into his brother.
Brady smiled at the boys. “Would you guys like to grab a burger and meet Gram?”
The boys cheered.
“Am I invited, too?”
“Of course.” Brady grinned. Things were definitely looking up. Kirsten had invited herself to join them.
Brady couldn’t help thinking about the family picture the four of them presented.

The familiar recorded voice on the other end of the line made Kirsten Bailey’s stomach churn. The phone number had an Atlanta area code, but if it was a cell phone, no telling where the owner resided. She mustered some politeness and repeated her daily mantra. How many messages would she have to leave before she got a response? She slammed down the phone.
“Why are you abusing
