Because of You - A Coming Home Novel

A powerful second chance romance about America’s veterans finding their way home after war written by Iraq veteran and USA Today Bestselling author Jessica Scott that New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross calls “beautifully written and touchingly authentic.”

Welcome Home - these are the words every soldier longs to hear after an endless deployment.

But for Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison, there’s no one waiting when he arrives back at Fort Hood, unconscious and barely hanging on. The IED that nearly took his life took something more important - something he’s afraid he’ll never get back. 

Working as nurse at Fort Hood’s busy hospital, Jen St. James has seen her share of wounded warriors pass through her hallways. But there’s something about Shane that draws her close, even when she knows her own brush with death has left her scarred. 

As Shane struggles to recover, Jen is the only one who can see what’s happening to him. As the wounds of war drag him further away from healing and everyone around him who matters, Jen is there, pushing him, demanding that he continue to fight to get back to the only thing he believes he’s good at. 

Along the way, Shane learns the hard truth about life without the uniform and discovers that maybe, there’s someone for him to come home to after all.  

Because of You is perfect for fans of Robyn Carr, Kristin Hannah, Lori Foster, Brenda Novak, Pamela Clare, RaeAnne Thane, Marie Force, and JoAnn Ross.
