A marriage pact, sixteen years in the making.
The vow was simple. If they were single by the time they made lieutenant colonel, they’d marry. On the day of her promotion, Juliet Grayson is at Evan Stephens’s door to ask him to keep his promise. Juliet only needs a father figure for her son, but Evan hopes to be so much more. Can he convince a woman who’s been burned before to get close to the flame once again?
Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate, army officer and Fortune 100 sales executive, CARO CARSON has always treasured the happily-everafter of a good romance novel. As a RITA® Awardwinning Mills & Boon author, Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband and two children in Florida, a location that has saved the coaster-loving theme-park fanatic a fortune on plane tickets.

This book was written with fond memories
of the two friends who each told me they were
going to marry me if they hadn’t found anyone else
by the time they were thirtysomething.
But...
This book is dedicated to Richard, my husband,
who decided to marry me the day he met me.
