Never say never... After loving and losing a soldier once, Isabella Knowles made a vow: No more military men. She's rebuilt her life and has a classroom full of fifth graders to love, which is more than enough even though her father doesn't agree. When he sets her up on a blind date, she only goes to humor him—never dreaming that the man she meets will tempt her to break her one rule. In theory, Ethan Masters is not opposed to the wife, kids and house with a white picket fence. But he loves his career as a K-9 handler in the Air Force, and a dream promotion dangles before him like dog tags. While contemplating his future, he accepts a drunken bet for a blind date, never dreaming that the captivating woman fits perfectly into his ideal, all-American dream. Only one problem. She's gun-shy about all things military. Can Ethan prove to Isabella love is worth the risk?
