Just a Little Lie — Mallory Rush

Mariah Garnet didn't mean any harm when she sent her older sister's picture to Sgt. Sol Standish -- her pen-pal stationed in the Middle East -- and forgot to mention that at 18 she's on a fast track to becoming a surgeon like her dad.

Then Sol is badly wounded in combat, and there's no time to straighten things out before Mariah grants him his last wish -- her hand in marriage -- over the phone.

Sol didn't expect to live, or return home with a battered body and defeated spirit, to face a new bride who isn't at all what he'd expected.

Now Mariah must convince him that she's much more than the little lies that landed his ring on her finger.
