One Year to Forever — Lori Leger

Haley Broussard is an auburn-haired beauty from southeast Texas -- just bubbling with sauce and determination. Her priorities are to win barrel races with her horse, Dakota, finish college, and never date a military man. After a Marine on leave rescues her from a drunken dance partner in a local club, Haley's attitude makes a drastic about face. When Ben Bonin joined the military at nineteen years old, the Louisiana man thought it best not to have a girl waiting on him at home. One evening with Haley has him wanting nothing more than to spend time with her. Two weeks later they face the heartbreak of separation. Can Corporal Bonin survive six months of heart-pounding missions during his final deployment as a U.S. Marine? Even if he does, can Haley last another six months for his return to civilian life? After all, a year is nothing compared to forever... Halos & Horns: Where natives of Louisiana and Texas cross state lines to find romance ~
