Uh oh. Amber signed her sister’s name on a pen pal letter to a Marine. As usual, Jory Walker was stuck fixing her sister’s little white lie.

When letters poured in from SSGT Trent Stevens in Afghanistan, Jory had no choice but to correspond. Sure he’d be drooling over Amber’s bikini photo, thinking it was Jory. Since they’d never meet, what harm could it do if she sent him a few letters?

Would her charade boomerang replacing happiness with pain? What started off as an innocent ruse, morphed into a monstrous web of deceit. Maybe unpredictable love was destined to break her heart.

EXCERPT

Amber leaned against the doorjamb. “Uh, it’s after six, and I don’t see any dinner on the stove.”

Jory’s lips compressed into a frown. She rose from her desk, fueled by anger. “You’ve got a lotta nerve. I’m up here beating my brains out, writing four Goddamn letters to Trent Stevens. Letters you should be writing! And you’re asking about dinner? Here’s the deal. You want me to write, fine. But you’ve gotta cook.”

“Me?” Amber pointed at her own, ample chest.

Jory nodded.

“Really? I can’t cook.”

“Then learn, damn it. It’s about time you did anyway.”

“And if I don’t?” A sassy look crossed her sister’s face, and she rested one hand on her hip.

“I’ll write to Staff Sergeant Trent Stevens and tell him you’re a fraud. Then, I’ll report you to Laura Dailey. They’ll drum you outta town.”

“You wouldn’t do that.” Amber frowned, but Jory saw uncertainty in her eyes.

The older one narrowed her eyes. “Try me.”

Amber chewed her lip. “Okay, okay. But not every night.”

“Three nights a week.”

“Three?” Amber’s voice shot up two octaves.

“That’s right. Like it or lump it.”

Amber made a face and huffed down the stairs. Jory broke into a smile as soon as her sister was out of sight. That’ll teach her. Besides, she needs to learn to cook and pull her weight around here.
