THE PRODIGAL by Rhonda Nelson: Major Chase Harrison finally returns home after his father's death, ready to sell everything and move on. He comes across a small snag in his plans as his father's assistant becomes an intricate part in his well laid out strategy to sell and run.

All three of these stories have the perfect ingredients for a sexy romance; well-trained, hot military guys and the women who love them. I thoroughly enjoyed each one.
