Natasha thought she knew the cost of loving a soldier. Long deployments. Quiet nights. Empty rooms. But nothing prepared her for the ache of being alone especially now that she’s carrying his child. Each day in the base housing stretches longer, and the silence presses in harder.
That silence is broken by Bruce her boyfriend’s closest friend, the man who always checks in to make sure she’s safe. Dependable, steady, always there. Until his visits turn into longer talks, small smiles, and a pull neither of them can ignore. For Natasha, guilt battles with the sharp need to feel wanted again.
The tension grows when her best friend Kimberly makes her own interest in Bruce clear and she’s not about to step aside. Torn between loyalty, desire, and the future she wants for her baby, Natasha is pushed to a breaking point.
Will she choose honesty and risk everything or let secrecy and fear decide her future for her?
