The Recruiter

Erin Gresham knows danger. She’s lived it, escaped it, and carries the scars to prove it. With her five-year-old son, Jamie, she’s starting over—safe but not unshaken. When a twist of fate leads her into the home of SGT James Cole, a Marine Corps Recruiter battling his own ghosts, she finds something unexpected: a man who understands fear, because he’s lived it too.
SGT James Cole has spent years outrunning the horrors of war, but the nightmares follow him home. Discipline and duty keep him grounded, but nothing quiets the guilt or the memories of the brothers he couldn’t save. Erin and Jamie are a light in the darkness, a glimpse of a life he never thought he could have.
But healing doesn’t come easy for a Marine trained to fight, or a woman learning to trust again. And when the past comes knocking, threatening everything they’ve built, James and Erin must face their greatest battle yet—the fight for each other.
The Recruiter is a raw and emotional journey of survival, love, and the courage to find home in the unlikeliest of places. A military/single mom/found family unconventional romance.
