Real Estate Agent, Susan Richardson, decided to hang around the office to help her partner close a home purchase. Never in a million years did she think she'd meet the last love of her life that afternoon. Gary Davis.

It was only several short years ago that two Marines stood in her living room with her and her daughter, Rachel, delivering the news no military wife wants to hear. Her husband had been killed in the line of duty.

A year to the day of their meeting, Gary and Susan went for coffee and began a courtship that lasted another year. On the first anniversary of being a couple, Gary proposed and Susan said yes.

Rachel has no clue her mother is in a serious relationship, let alone getting married, until her best friend, Lila, phoned and told her the news. Struggling with unresolved feelings for her father and trying to establish her new business, the news is a sword slicing through her heart.

How will Susan deal with her daughter's pain?
