The one that got away is now the one I refuse to let go.
Enlisting was one of my life goals, so was marrying my high school sweetheart, Sophie, and escaping our small town. Nothing has ever hurt me more than when she turned down my proposal.
I was stupid back then, heartbroken and foolish. A one-night stand was supposed to help me get over Sophie, instead I got the girl pregnant and ruined any chance of Sophie ever looking my way again.
For the last few years I've focused on being the best father and soldier I could be. Now I've done my duty for my country and it's time to take over raising my daughter, her mother insists it's my turn. What better place to do it, than in my own hometown?
Sophie has moved on and is now a successful bakery owner, but she's still the woman I could never forget. My daughter is her biggest fan, secretly so am I.
With a series of burglaries in town, Sophie is worried her bakery is next. I might not have made the right decisions all those years ago, but this time I'm going to prove to Sophie that I'm the right man for her.
A future without her simply isn't an option.
