When Love Refuses To Die

By Charles William Innocenti III

Book Overview

Major John Bradford returns from his second combat tour and decides to spend his Christmas leave with his sister back in his hometown. The pace of his life has been almost nonstop since the day the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq started. His two combat deployments have changed him from an untried Officer into a seasoned combat veteran whose fellow Soldiers hold in the highest regard. Despite the intense brotherhood he feels within the Army, there is little he can do to change the loneliness that has plagued him most of his life. In rare quiet moments, he dreams about a girl he met one summer fifteen years ago: Lisa, the one woman that he deeply loved but who somehow got away. While on leave, a chance encounter with his summer love offers them another chance to rekindle their love. But they live in different worlds now, and Lisa will have to contend with John's mission-driven life, a military mistress that both of them may underestimate.

This is the first of a three-book series that brings John and Lisa together and the trials and tribulations that ensue as they both deal with the demands the Army makes as it fights the Afghan and Iraq wars. It can be a stand-alone book should you desire to leave the story at that point, but life rarely allows for simple endings. Should you wonder what happens next to John and Lisa, then the next book, "When Love Fights On," and the final book, "When Love Perseveres," will tell you.
