Excerpt from Soldier Mine below! This book is just the epitome of cuteness LOL Contemporary military romance. Releases Jan 6! Petr shows up at the diner for ten days in a row. TEN. My brother has no idea this is happening, and I’m almost grateful he’s got a girl to keep his mind off karate for the most part. This game between Petr and me is baffling. I don’t understand why he won’t just quit. Walk away, drop it, move on, whatever. He barely knows Todd, and he’s got an entire town of people to save. He must have better things to do than to ask me every day about taking my brother to karate class. “What is wrong with you?” I ask him finally on the tenth day and all but drop his daily slice of pecan pie on the table before him. I plant both hands on my hips. “Can’t you take a hint?” “I think ten days qualifies as more than a hint,” Petr says, amused. “Even this ground pounder understands.” “Then why do you keep asking?” He shrugs. “Initially I wanted to take him to karate. Now … it’s more a matter of principle. You declared war by being stubborn, so I at least need to show up to the fight.” What is it about him that always makes me want to smile? “War, huh.” I never thought of it that way, though in hindsight, there is a part of me that’s wanted to drive him away. If he stopped asking, stopped showing up, I could tell Todd it wasn’t a sincere offer and take the easy way out with the karate class issue. “There’s no pie in war.” I take his pie away. Just to drive home my point, I eat it at the counter while Petr sips his coffee and watches, entertained. “I’m still charging you,” I call to him across the diner. “Cheers.” He raises his mug. I lift my fork in response.
