Jack Lisa Carlisle

In the Marines, their relationship was forbidden.

Will an unexpected reunion at a cat shelter fundraiser lead to a second chance?

Vivi: My last deployment left me wounded, ending my military career. Now I'm a college student in Boston and volunteer at a nearby cat shelter. Spending time with the fur balls is my sanctuary from the real world.

Until a fundraiser when I run into a man I could never have. I need to escape.

I'm no longer the woman Jack remembers. No longer whole.

Broken.




Jack: Active duty had its challenges, but reentry into the civilian world presents new ones. The biggest choice being what do I do next?

When my mom and sister drag me to a gala raising money for cats, I see the woman I haven't been able to forget. We met in Okinawa and I've been wondering about her since we parted.

I'll ask her to dance.

One dance. It doesn't have to mean anything.

But it could...

One dance might lead to our second chance.
