Welcome Home

Stetson ripped her heart out the day of their high school senior graduation when he broke up with her as they were standing in line to receive their diplomas.

He was her first love, and even though she becomes successful enough to have her own show Date with Design on The Home Network where she designs the interior of homes all across the US, she still never feels like she’s made something of herself. How could she when the only person in her life that mattered got away?

Stetson West was always a rugged outdoorsy type who enjoyed getting his hands dirty on his ranch. But all of that was BC, before collision with a land mine. Now his prosthetic leg is a daily reminder of what he can’t do.

He’s been able to overcome a lot, especially with now having the strength stand on his own with his new leg, but dating just seems like a waste of time for someone like him.

Jennifer left him while he was still in recovery. And once he got home, all the others seemed to talk to him out of pity. A new leg gave him a lease on life—but not in love. It wasn’t until the day Sage walked back into his life that he was willing to try to open what remained of himself after the bomb destroyed his chances at a normal life.

The only real question left was if he’d give into his phantom pains or would he try to heal what remained in his heart.
