Fresh Start — Nic Saint

Newly graduated Erin Walters decides to have one last summer of fun before embarking on a career as an architect. Her friend convinces her that the beaches of Goa, India, are the perfect place to let their hair down and soak up some rays. But secretly Erin harbors a deeper wish, one in which she finally finds the man of her dreams-her soulmate. Ex-soldier Raminar Bradley isn't in Goa to have fun. He has one last mission to complete before permanently signing off, and his last hurrah doesn't leave room for dreamers like Erin. Bumping into her at the airport, therefore, he's more than a little surprised when he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the young woman. Soon some of that starry-eyed innocence of hers starts rubbing off on him, like balm to his wounded soul. Before long, the two plunge into a passionate affair that leaves them both reeling, their lives permanently changed. But can the events that Raminar has set in motion still be turned back, or is it too late? Length: 37,049 words or 166 book pages. This novel stands alone (HEA). 18+
