Description
Navy SEAL widow Holly McGuire returns to small town, Marietta, Montana, at Christmas time to close a chapter of her life and begin again. She’s not looking for a second chance at love or romance at this reunion of the ex-SEAL team’s Band of Brothers. There’s only one thing she wants for Christmas—a child of her own. She has a secret plan to make that happen, no strings attached. But she knows not everyone will be on board with her decision. Especially the very handsome Trey Reyes, her late husband’s commander and best friend.
Buttoning up the past isn’t what Trey has in mind when he welcomes Holly to town. Secretly in love with her since day one, Trey’s old vow to his friend to watch over her, come what may, doesn’t include enabling a terrible idea. Trey must take one last stand to win her heart and prove to Holly he’s exactly what she needs. And an unexpected bit of Marietta Christmas magic might be just the ticket to make that happen.

5By sbsbrinsonWhat could be better than a love story with unrequited attraction on both sides, a bunch of heroes and a dead heroes widow? It takes place in Marietta, Montana where love and family abound. Enjoy this sweet and poignant journey to happily ever after.Once a Hero
5By jane2053👍🏻Loved it!
5By kristylofHolly McGuire has spent a year travelling the world as her late husbands final wishes. As the last part of her journey she is headed to Marietta Montana to meet up with his old Marine brothers. Trey Reyes is anxious for Holly to arrive in Montana and is hoping to win her heart by the end of her visit. Holly is only looking for one thing and its not love, but a baby of her own. Holly and Trey have been attracted to one another for years but never acted on it. Can the two find a future together or is Trey too much like her late husband? I loved this book! Holly and Trey's characters were perfect! The story telling made me feel like i was there in Montana.Excellent
4By bh313@hotmailAn excellent and very enjoyable story. Loved these characters and their story made for a very relaxing afternoon read. Holly McGuire spent many years alone and lonely as her husband first served in the military then spent most of his time off on one adventure after another. He'd always promise to settle down and start a family but that time never came. After one of his adventures became deadly, Holly has spent the last year on an adventure of her own. Now she's ready to settle down and start that family. All on her own. Well except for that one little thing she needs a man for but she has a plan for that. All she has to do is get through the visit to Marietta without Trey Reyes finding out her plan. While she would love to have Trey involved she knows Trey is not a man that would walk away and let her raise the child on her own. Can she pull this miracle off?? Definitely a recommended read.
