His body was even more cut, defined, and my mouth watered. “You look amazing.” I sighed, running my fingertips along his abs.
“I pretty much worked out every time I wanted to jump my wife through the webcam. Hence, I worked out a lot. You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever put eyes on, Samantha Masters.”
He picked me up, and words were forgotten in a flurry of hands, mouths, moans, and sighs. When we were finished, we got in the shower, and then started again. After we’d worn ourselves to the bone, and the sun began to warm the sky, I snuggled into his side. “Welcome home, baby.”
He pressed a kiss to my forehead. “I’m so damn glad to be here.”
I smiled and let my eyes drift shut for the hour or two of sleep we could manage before Delaney knocked on the door, content for the first time since he’d left nine months ago.
And though he’d been the one halfway around the world, in his arms I felt like I’d finally come home, too.

Acknowledgments
First and foremost, thank you so much to my Heavenly Father, who gives me strength when I have none, and heaps upon me the blessings I don’t deserve.
Thank you to my husband, Jason, who inspires delicious book boyfriends because he’s the kind of man fictional characters have a hard time living up to. Oh, and he makes me go to bed at two a.m. on deadline. Thank you to our children, who fuel me with kisses and hugs (while Dad fetches coffee), and make me believe in a better tomorrow. Thank you to my parents, who never doubted this crazy little path I chose. To my sister, Kate, who reads everything I write with no complaint and never hesitates to pick up the phone. My brothers, Doug, Matt, and Chris, who wouldn’t think twice to bury an unknown object if I needed them to.
Thank you to my editor, Karen, for knowing my voice better than I do and allowing me to send back funny, sleep-deprived notes in the margins. There’s not enough words to describe how much I freaking love you. Thank you to Jamie Bodnar Drowley, for your dedication to the Flight & Glory series, and opening that door for me! Thank you to the fabulous team at Entangled—Liz, Heather H., Heather R., Debbie, and Brittany, you ladies are simply phenomenal. Thank you to my amazing publicity team at SSFAB—Melissa, Sharon, Linda, and Jesey. You guys keep me sane, and my life wouldn’t function without you. Thank you to my incredible agent, Louise Fury—I couldn’t imagine a better copilot on this publishing journey.
