A Trident Wedding — Jaime Lewis

When she bumped into the handsome blue-eyed stranger two years ago in Afghanistan, Alexandra Hardesty knew that her life would change forever. With her upbringing, she understood that falling in love with a Navy SEAL wouldn't be all smooth sailings and that their relationship would face many hurdles. Even through long deployments that included many lonely nights, Alex's love never waivered from the man she gave her heart to. Since asking Alex to marry him, Lt. Commander Marcus Ace Chambers has only wanted to give her the wedding of her dreams. But with both of them leading busy lives, Ace leading his team of elite SEALs, and Alex continuing to build on her foundation's vision, scheduling the big day has proved difficult. Besides their careers, at the core of their lives is their support for their friends and family. Unbeknown to their family and friends, Ace has been secretly planning a surprise for Alex. But before Ace can reveal his surprise, Alex is called out of town on a business trip. But then tragedy strikes bringing everything to a halt.
