Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison has spent a year recovering from his combat injuries. A year spent in the arms of the woman of his dreams. But loving Jen comes with a price: every time he touches her, he faces the uncertain fear that loving her might mean losing her forever.
Jen is a breast cancer survivor and with Shane, she’s found a man who loves her despite her scars. But her scars may be too much for their love to survive.
As their love grows, so does the risk to Jen’s life. And Shane must make the toughest decision any man can make to save the woman he loves.
Review
Another great story from Jessica Scott!
It's interesting that even after a happy ending in Because of You, Shane and Jen still had some issues to smooth over before they can really live happily ever after.
Both of them had their own set of fears with regards to each other. Jen, despite her fears, was able to cope with it as much as she could. Shane, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice everything if it meant having Jen with him for a long time. That kind of dedication and love is truly unconditional.
Carponti opened the book, which was such a treat for me :) I still wish that he would get his own book, even a novella one day :)
Jessica has a way with words that touches the heart and even squeezes it sometimes.

Guest Post
Thanks for having me here today. Arianne asked me to talk about tough decisions, something I've had a lot of experience with in the military. We even have something called the military decision making process but that's another topic for another day.
I've had to make tough decisions before. Choices about ending soldiers careers or whether or not to send soldiers to trial for certain crimes. With clear cut crime, it's not a tough decision for me. I have no qualms about charging someone when they make decisions that result in harm to another individual.
Other decisions are harder. Like how to remain social with someone who believes in something that is patently offensive to me. I'm not talking about being a republican vs a democrat. I'm talking about people who can look at someone who has committed a crime and find a way to still say they're a good soldier or a good person. These decisions are extremely challenging for me because they result in a social order that I don't agree with.
Other decisions that are extremely challenging are when to end relationships that are not helpful at best, toxic at worst. Usually, there comes a point in these relationships where it reaches the breaking point. I don't end relationships on a whim because I believe that everything we do is about relationships. But sometimes, ending one is in your own best interest. And when it reaches that point, it's time to make the decision that is best for your own well being.
Making tough decisions isn't easy but they're necessary as part of life and especially as part of what I do in the army.
In ANYTHING FOR YOU, Shane and Jen have to make a tough decision, one that neither of them is happy about. But it's Shane's love for Jen that allows them to get through it together.
I’m giving away a digital copy of ANYTHING FOR YOU as well as Shane and Jen’s first story BECAUSE OF YOU to one lucky commenter!
