TODAY'S FREE SHORT STORY:
Her Thanksgiving Soldier by Leigh Riker
After ten years of war, black-ops soldier Caleb Henderson must decide whether to stay in the military - it's all he knows - or to come home. Daisy McCall just might be his answer, but she doesn't want to love another man in uniform.

Award-winning author Leigh Riker began her career with short stories then novels, and she still loves to write romance. When not writing, or thinking about writing, she likes to read, watch movies (funny or sad), dig in the garden, travel, and play the piano - with gusto if not finesse. At home in the Southeast she is (of course) working on a new novel.
Guest post about my story:
In my first Harlequin Heartwarming title, If I
Loved You (July 2014), Molly
Darling is already a two-time loser in romance when her ex-fiancé shows up at
her door. Molly might not be tempted to try again with Brig Collier, a tough
black-ops soldier, but he’s not alone. Brig has brought a baby, orphaned by
war, with him, and adorable little Laila needs a home. Who knew a matchmaker
could come in such a tiny package?
That book, in which one of Brig’s buddies appeared briefly
via his emails from the battlefield about Laila, turned out to be the prequel
to this new short story. Now, Caleb Henderson must decide whether to stay at
war or come home at last. His decision wouldn’t be as hard if not for Daisy
McCall, the director of a rehab center, who over Thanksgiving works her way
into his heart. But Daisy, who has lost before, doesn’t want to love another
man in uniform. Does she?
From the start, Caleb seemed to need his own story—and now
he has it. I hope you enjoy reading “Her Thanksgiving Soldier.” I loved writing
it.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

If I Loved YouShe deserves a man she can count on
Eight years ago Brigham Collier broke their engagement, and Molly Darling's heart, when he put the military first. Now Molly is a childless widow, and the returning soldier's back in town - with the most adorable baby she's ever seen. He needs help looking after Laila, left in his care by a fallen teammate. But time is running out. Who will keep Laila when duty calls again?
Molly can't turn her back on an orphan, but Laila reawakens her longing for a family of her own. And her feelings for Brig. If he shared her dream - instead of living for the next dangerous mission - she might dare say yes to him again. But he'll never leave his post, and she won't trust him with her heart a second time.
