Love Him Back — Kris Nacole

After escaping an abusive relationship, Chesney Ward fights to take back control of her life. She longs to leave behind her troubled past, but she craves more than what her small town has to offer. Freedom. Adventure. Love. The Air Force provides the escape she needs. After arriving at her first duty station, Chesney meets Staff Sergeant Zane Thomas, a Special Forces airman. He is used to exercising control in his life, which she doesn't mind. However, she has no idea she's getting more than she bargained for. Zane thinks no woman could ever make him want to settle down. That is until he meets Chesney, a small-town girl with a big heart. Her Southern accent and honey-brown eyes make him forget how to breathe. Over time, their lives will change, and they will be forced to part ways. When Zane reappears many years later, Chesney's life is turned upside-down. Not only is she faced with sharing a life-altering secret with him, but she is also given a second chance to rekindle what they once had years ago. Will Chesney be able to love him back to her, or is Zane too broken to be saved?
