He came home from the war, but now he battles his own heart. Jake Abbott, an injured Marine veteran, won a playwright competition with his script Afghanistan. The prize? A full-ride scholarship to the University of Idaho, and the chance to have his play performed that fall by the theater department. He should be overjoyed. Instead he finds himself listening for the sound of the voice of a woman he knows he can't have - theater professor Gail Tremont. She's made that clear - it's a conflict of interest, and she's the producer of his play. And he accepts that. Gail Tremont is under attack and not just in petty department politics either. There have been real attacks that put her life in jeopardy. But Gail is tough, and she's not going to back down. They're putting on Afghanistan, and no one is getting in the way of that - not even her wayward heart. Four women friends, each with their own trilogy, braided together. They've got each other's backs. And really? There's little you can't do if you've got friends like that - even take a chance on love again. A slow burn, second chance, small town romance.
