Beyond Reason by Hope Ford

This book was previously published as Claiming Jane. The title and cover have been changed but the manuscript is the same.

I’m claiming my best friend’s sister.
I married her because she had no one.
She was my best friend’s sister and when he died I owed it to him to take care of her.
For seven years, I kept my distance.
I went on every deployment I could and
I gave her space.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
Now, it’s time for me to retire
And I’m going home.
She has her own life now.
She’s happy and she deserves more than being tied to her emotionally wounded husband.
But I’m beyond reason… I’m claiming my best friend’s sister.
