The Heathen Brotherhood: Conflict of Devotion

US Special Forces Operator John Galloway knows his mission: to hunt down the man responsible for the bombing that killed three of his teammates. And he knows every mission is bound to have a few obstacles. For John, however, there are too many. There's his exile to his parents' house by his commanding officer for some time to "get his head straight," his pending psych evaluation by the army, his temporary suspension from his team, his mother's matchmaking, and of course ... Andie Simmons. Literally, the girl next door who has always known the way to his heart since high school. When fate gives him a second chance at his first love, it's a battle his heart isn't equipped to fight. In the end, there will be casualties of war. Among them: their hearts, her trust, and his chance for a future with the only woman he'll ever love.

Andie Simmons has retreated back to her parents' beachside home with hopes to pull her lackluster art career out of its doldrums. At thirty, she needs more than a little inspiration and a buyer or two for her art. She never expected to find new love with an old flame. It's been fifteen years, although her heart hasn't missed a day of loving him. But he's a soldier. The army is his bride, and she'd be nothing more than his mistress. Unless he can resolve the conflict of his devotion.
