Love On Leave

A simple phone call is all it takes to send memories flooding Kate Carpenter’s mind. Memories of him and the carefree summer they’d shared so many years ago.
It’s 1994. The days of beepers, Daisy Dukes, and drinking Boone’s Farm straight from the bottle. Spring finals are over and the only thing twenty-year-old, Kate needs now is her annual girls’ trip to Panama City Beach, Florida. A chance to leave the pressures of college, her future and the antics of past loves, in Georgia where they belong. What she didn’t expect was the gorgeous Chase “Max” Maxwell and his band of hard-working Army comrades to waltz into her life and flip it upside down.
The second Kate lays eyes on the handsome Texan. Max’s kind, southern charm sparks a connection she hasn’t felt in, well...Ever. But between an unexpected collision with her stoner ex, a car theft, and a shotgun wedding, Kate might not get quite the fairy-tale romance she’d hoped. Especially with the arrogant, skirt-chasing, Sgt. Davis stirring up trouble every chance he gets.
With the help of Kate’s best friends and their adventures together, she hilariously navigates through life, heartache, and the realities of growing up. But when it comes to matters of the heart, it will take an unlikely source for her to realize love isn’t always about fate, but instead about the bonds created when we aren’t even trying.
