Second Chance For A Soldier
Eight years ago, Landon Cutter dared to tell his childhood sweetheart that he loved her—days before her wedding to another man. But Georgiana Sanders sent him away forever. Now, the former soldier returns to their Alabama ranching town and discovers that Georgiana is a single mother—and lost her sight in a long-ago accident he believes he caused. Landon has never stopped loving the sweet country gal, but Georgiana thinks he’s just trying to make amends. Now he’ll need the help of a community—and one special little girl—to heal old hurts...and bind two hearts.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you get word to me when it happened?” Landon asked.
“You had already joined the army by the time I realized I was going blind,” Georgiana said. “And it was an accident.”
“It was that accident, wasn’t it?” He wasn’t willing to let her shirk the issue or protect him from the blame. “The day you left the church so upset because of me.”
She turned her head. She knew if she looked in his direction, he’d be able to tell she was withholding the rest of the story.
“I remember,” he said, and took a small step toward her, unable to stay so far away.
“It was an accident, Landon. There wasn’t anything anyone could have done to change it.”
He couldn’t believe she was trying to protect him from the truth. She should hate him, should totally blame him for her blindness, but she obviously didn’t.
However, Landon wasn’t going to let himself off the hook that easily.

Prologue
“Don’t marry him, Georgiana.”
Georgiana Sanders stood alone in the center aisle of the Claremont Community Church and bit back the tremor of anxiety that rippled through her as she viewed the heart-shaped arch that would be covered in white roses in merely two days. Two days until she would be pronounced Georgiana Sanders Watson.
Cold feet. Every bride experienced the sensation, surely. She was no different. She swallowed hard. That had to be it.
Faint voices echoed through the empty church, the sounds of Brother Henry’s wife and Georgiana’s mother in the fellowship hall. But in spite of the fact that Brother Henry was in his office and the two women weren’t far away, Georgiana felt very alone.
“Don’t marry him, Georgie.”
This time the voice was louder, stronger and extremely masculine. Definitely not imagined and undeniably familiar. She turned to see Landon Cutter, tall and muscled and beautiful, her neighbor and best friend since they were toddlers, standing merely a few
