When the soldier comes home, they forget their promise of good-bye. When Clarissa Dean and Matthew Carson said good-bye, it shattered Clarissa's heart. She has spent the past decade avoiding her first and only love during his visits home from the Army, but when Clarissa's best friend -- Matt's twin sister -- gets married, Clarissa can no longer avoid the man or protect her heart. The years apart are forgotten as quickly as their good-bye when they fall into each other's arms again. What Clarissa doesn't know is Matt has plans that mean they'll never have to say good-bye again.
