How can you imagine forever with someone who's leaving everything
behind?
Callahan, a former army sniper, wants to make an escape from his past and everything he experienced at war, but most of all, just not feel. Feeling leads to pain and he’s suffered enough. When he inherits a house on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island, he packs his bags, lured by the peace and seclusion he thinks it will bring. But, Callahan never counted on meeting anyone like Trinity...
Trinity has always been the cute, and funny one, who most guys overlook in pursuit of her "hot" friends. She became used to being everyone’s pal, until the day the young man she was attracted to, was drawn to her in return. He became her first great love, and first crushing heartbreak when she found him in bed with one of her closest friends.
To move forward, and to carry out her commitment to helping those in need, Trinity enlists in the Peace Corps, but not before returning to Kiawah for one last memorable summer. She just never imagined it would be so unforgettable.
Callahan doesn’t want to get close to anyone—let alone Trinity. He finds her perkiness insufferable and her attempts to entice a smile distracting. After all, he’s in Kiawah to leave all feelings behind. But when it comes to Trinity, who feels everything, it's hard not to feel something.
Neither expected to fall in love. And no one could have predicted how inseverable they’d become.

Prologue
Callahan
Callahan
Three days.
That’s all I have left until this shit ends.
Three days shouldn’t feel like forever, not compared to the eight years I’ve bled to the Army. Thing is, good men have been killed in less time. In as quick as a blink, a squeeze of a trigger, or a small breath right before a grenade blows is all the time it takes to shove someone right out of life and well into death.
That’s what makes three days as long as it is. Three days is plenty of time to die.
My eyes tear when the wind picks up and shoots grime through the small hole of my lookout point. This blown out piece of cinderblock is only big enough to allow me a view of the street below, but not so small I don’t get smacked in the face with more filth. The tarp flaps above me as I spit out another layer of the dirt-sand mix spackling my teeth. Christ Almighty, I need a swig of the water resting near my elbow. But my thirst, like everything else has to wait.
I have a job to do.
I adjust my hips against the cracked cement of my bed, bathroom, and home all rolled into one, thankful that the agonizing ache stretching over the lower half of my body has settled into a now familiar numbness.
Out of all the points I’d scouted, and all the accumulated years spent in this position, I should be used to it. And in a strange way, it should almost be home. Yet nothing ever has been home.
But in three days, maybe something finally will be...
I shove my thoughts away and breathe as my fellow Rangers stalk along the street. It’s then I see them, a mother and daughter walking straight toward my team. Less than one city block separates them from the men counting on me to keep them alive.
The hell? How did they get past the other sniper unreported? Rogers is new on watch. But the quick paces these two are taking should have clued him in that something’s up. I train my scope on their faces; their expressions are blank, unreadable. ‘Cept that’s not what keeps my attention.
The little girl can’t be more than five. So why the fuck isn’t her mother holding her hand? I lift my radio and bark a warning, dropping it beside me as I lock my scope dead center on the woman’s head.
The radio crackles and Modreski chimes in, yelling at his team to hold their positions. He asks me what my plan is, knowing if something’s caused the short-hairs on my neck to rise, he and the boys damn well need to listen. But I don’t hear him, with a breath and a squeeze of the trigger, I leave a kid without a mother.
Just beneath the sleeve of her abayah―the dress completely covering her body―I see it, a detonator that would trigger the explosives likely strapped to her chest. A few Rangers I know―Simons and Boreman, rush forward. I start to mutter a curse, pissed at her for making me shoot her in front of her kid. But the curse lodges in my throat when I see the kid isn’t looking at her mother lying next to her dead.
She’s watching my advancing team as she lifts the detonator clasped tight in her hand.

I absolutely love that all of Cecy Robson’s books have not only fantastic plotlines, but will have you cracking up with laughter the entire time you’re reading. This is a great start for the series and I can’t wait to read more!
This is Trinity’s last summer on the beach before beginning her “adult life” and she plans to make the best of it. Her and her large group of friends are all life guards on the beach, with Trinity being in charge. They almost always hang out at the local bar after work, which is where Trinity first spots the brooding Callahan. Callahan is former military and dealt with a ton of death while in the war that has left him with tons of physical and emotional scars. He wants nothing to do with the quirky, loud, and always happy Trinity, but she’s not letting that deter her and pretty much forces him to spend time with her. It’s absolutely hilarious how she has one-sided conversations with him for their first few interactions. Slowly but surely, Trinity starts to break down the walls that Callahan has put up, and when he begins being plagued with nightmares from his past, Trinity is what pulls him out of the darkness.
This was a fantastic story, I absolutely did not want it to end! I love that the author touches on such serious issues, but also had me crying with laughter other times. Trinity was one of my favorite heroines I’ve read about in a long while, her quirky and sassy attitude makes me hope she’ll be making appearances in future books in this series. I can’t wait for book two!

This is Trinity's last summer at the beach as a lifeguard. Her group of friends have graduated college and are moving on to real life jobs away from each other. The plan is to make this summer count after her boyfriend and best friend were found in bed together. Trinity always found a way to laugh or make others around her smile. She was all about fixing someone else.
Callahan Sawyer is an Army Ranger Veteran, he's seen more than his share of death and destruction. He moved to the house his uncle left him at the beach for peace and quiet. The last thing he expects is a talkative Trin to interrupt that. He can't seem to get her to understand he's not interested.
There is such a slow buildup with this story. It definitely isn't insta-love and I love the buildup! Trinity is hilarious in her efforts to get Callahan to talk to her. It's fun and emotional, sexy and sweet. She has a great group of friends that play a big part in her life. It's fun to watch the interactions.
I can't wait to read more with Hale and Becca's story!
