CHAPTER 15

Max

I ’d spent so many nights haunted by painful memories. Over and over I relived every heart-wrenching moment, but after just one night with Harper, the demons that raged in the back of my mind started to fade. While I was still struggling to accept everything that she said, she’d given me a new perspective on what had happened in Iraq, and for the first time since Brody’s death, I slept—really slept. I woke up feeling better than I had in years, and it was because of her. I never believed in second chances. I’d always thought there was no way to go back and fix the mistakes we’d made, but she made me realize that it wasn’t about changing the past. Second chances were for proving that we can be better, even after we failed. There was no doubt that I’d failed her, and in more ways than I could count, but I’d never fail her again. I would do everything in my power to be a better man—for her. Harper was it for me, and as I looked down at her sleeping in my arms, I knew there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her.

I had no idea what time it was when I eased the covers back and slowly pulled myself out of bed. I was careful not to wake her as I put on my boxers and headed into the kitchen to make us some breakfast. I opened her refrigerator and was disappointed that there wasn’t much there. Knowing that a quick run to the grocery wasn’t an option, I’d have to make the best of what she had. I’d just pulled out the carton of eggs, when I heard a tap at the door. I went over to see who was there and spotted the delivery man heading down the steps. When I opened the door, I found several boxes sitting on the porch. I almost froze my ass off when I stepped out to get them, but I warmed right back up when Harper greeted me at the doorway. Her hair was pulled up in a messy bun, and she was wearing an oversized, long sleeved t-shirt with big, fluffy, pink socks. Sexy as fuck.

When she saw that my hands were full of boxes, she asked, “What is all that?”

“You tell me.” I chuckled as I placed them down on the table. “They were just delivered.”

After looking at the return label on one of the boxes, she smiled and said, “Oh, these must be from Claudia.”

She walked over to the kitchen to get a knife, and then rushed back to open the first package. As soon as she tore it open, a pungent scent of flowers filled the entire room, and my eyes immediately started to burn. I grimaced as I watched her reach into the box and pull out a large basket of old lady bath soaps and candles. “What is all this stuff?”

“It was supposed to be some promotional things for my next book signing.
