Short description

Love. Honor.

Trust.

Sacrifice.

Daws, aka Sergeant Fred Dawson, U.S. Army, is a determined and highly respected leader. Called to serve in Desert Storm, he manages to bring all of his men back home. While still haunted with the remnants of battle, Daws loses the most important person in his life, in an accident for which he feels partly responsible.

Deanna Meyers has had it with men. As far as she's concerned, there isn't a true loyal and honest gentleman left in New York City. In the midst of trying to advance in the world of advertising where the men in charge are more interested in her other attributes than in her skills, she finds herself in another destructive relationship, this time to the possible detriment of her career.

When they run into each other at a bus stop in the pouring rain after midnight, Daws and Deanna recognize the spark of a connection that draws them in the way they are both drawn to the city lights at night.

This is the shorter, spicier version of the full novel, recommended for 18+.

Review by: Maggie Toussaint on Dec. 24, 2011 :
A poignant insider's look at being married to a military spouse. As I read this emotionally charged story, I felt myself rooting hard for Deanna and Daws to triumph and succeed against the odds of geography, exploitation, job discrimination, and the conduct restrictions of soldiers. Even after I finished the book, Deanna and Daws remained vivid in my mind. With a daughter in the serivce, this book was right up my alley.
