Soaring and Sweet by Ginny Sterling

A desperate request and an unexpected bargain would bring together a broken family in a way they never imagined.

Evan ‘Orion’ Buchannan is a single dad on the edge, struggling to hold his life together with the threat of deployment looming. How can he be a good father when everything around him is falling apart?

Suddenly, Cherry finds herself a stepmom, learning military life from a six-year-old, and navigating a marriage meant to last only six months while Evan is deployed. But what happens when their convenient arrangement turns out to be something more?
