    About this ebook

    She's his high school sweetheart. He's back in town looking after being discharged from the military. Is he ready for the huge secret she's been keeping from him?

    Bri
    Ethan was my everything growing up, my first everything, my best friend, and my soul mate. Until he walked away and ended us.
    We had one last beautiful night together and then he was gone.
    That night gave me our son. The problem is Ethans is back in town, and he doesn't know about our little boy…

    Ethan
    Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done but it was the right thing to do. She didn't have a future with me.
    I was planning to make the Navy my whole life until I was injured and discharged.
    Having to start all over I pack up and head home to my parents.
    Walking into the diner that first morning I never thought I'd see her.
    The only woman I'd ever loved but the biggest shocker? The little boy sitting next to her is the spitting image of me…


    The Heart of the Wounded Hero series was created to pay tribute to and raise awareness of our wounded heroes. Each of the over eighty authors involved have contributed time, money, and stories to the cause. These love stories are inspiring and uplifting, showing the sacrifice of our veterans but also giving them the happily ever after they deserve.

    By increasing awareness through our books, we believe we can in a small part help the wounded heroes that have sacrificed so much.

    Thank you for reading!

      Saving Ethan - Kaci Rose

      Chapter 1

      Briana

      Five Years ago

      What a rush to finally graduate high school. I'm officially an adult, even though I've been eighteen for six months. It's the final piece of the puzzle of stepping into the adult world.

      My entire future is before me, even more so since my boyfriend Ethan has asked me to meet with him tonight. He doesn't want to do all the fancy dances and parties. He just wants time with me.

      He’s the love of my life, and I know it without a shadow of a doubt. He's been my everything for so long that my best friend has convinced me he's going to propose tonight so we can start the next chapter of our lives together.

      He's been acting a little weird the last few days, but if he were planning a proposal, that would make sense. So I took extra care getting ready this evening, doing my hair and makeup the way he loves. I even have a new dress for the evening.

      We're meeting at the lake that has been our spot out on the dock. I have images of a beautiful, picturesque proposal with candles all over the place as he stands and waits for me.

      When I arrive, the only light is from the lamp post on the shore, but Ethan’s at the end of the dock, staring out into the lake. I take a moment to gaze at him. He still gives me butterflies after all this time.

      He's always been aware of his surroundings, so I know he hears my footsteps, but he doesn't turn until I take the first step onto the dock. His expression is serious. He doesn't smile, and there's a haunted look in his eyes. Something's wrong.

      As soon as I reach him, I take his hand in mine to offer him a bit of strength. What's wrong? Is everything okay?

      His eyes wander over me for a moment before he shakes his head. I need you to know that I wanted the life we planned, but I have no idea how to give it to you.

      We don't have to figure out how to get there yet. It will take time, and we can do anything together.

      Ethan shakes his head again. I decided to join the Navy. I leave in two weeks for basic training.

      He drops the bombshell and then watches and waits for my reaction.

      We were supposed to get an apartment together, live together, go to school together, start our life and plan the rest of our life together. The military was never part of that plan.

      My mind races as I try to adapt to the new plan. Okay. As soon as you get stationed, let me know, and I'll transfer my classes. How long is basic training? Will I be able to write you? Can we talk? Is it like the movies, where I won’t hear from you for eight weeks? It's sucks, but we’ll make this work. They provide housing, right? So we can live in the military housing while I go to school, and you start working.

      "No, Bri. I don't want to do the long-distance thing. It's hard enough being away from you for a short time. We won't last long distance. This is for the best for both of
