New Military Romance from Rebecca Yarros in Hallowed
Ground (Book Four) of the
Flight &
Glory Series releasing
January 25th!
There are some debts you can’t repay.
Josh Walker is loyal, reckless, and every girl’s
dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he's craved since his
high school hockey days. Together they have survived grief, the military,
distance, and time as they’ve fought for stolen weekends between his post at
Ft. Rucker and her college at Vanderbilt. Now that Josh is a medevac pilot and
Ember is headed toward graduation, they’re moving on—and in—together.
Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh
means accepting whatever the army dictates—even when that means saying goodbye
as Josh heads to Afghanistan, a country that nearly killed him once before and
that took her father. But filling their last days together with love, passion,
and plans for their future doesn’t temper Ember’s fear, and if there’s one
thing she’s learned from her father’s death, it’s that there are some obstacles
even love can’t conquer.
Flight school is over.
This is war.

He skated toward me, and
I paused, blown away with everything that was Josh. His hair was sweaty, water
dripping down his flushed cheeks from dumping his bottle over his head. It was
high school and college all jumbled together to make this magnificent man in
front of me. I’d never loved him
more.
“I’ve gotten a little better since that first date, huh?” I asked with a flirtatious
smile, skating backward just because I could.
“You’ve always been
perfect.” That grin was enough to melt me despite the temperature of the ice.
“Did you have fun?”
“Yes. I can’t believe
you did that for me.” His eyes were warm, letting his love for me shine.
“It’s your dream.”
He shook his head and
took my hands in his much warmer ones. “No. It used to be my dream. And as hard
as I worked for it, and as difficult as it was to let go, I can’t thank you
enough for what you did for me. This”—he glanced at the empty seats and bright
lights— “has been more than I could have ever imagined.”
“I’m glad. You deserve
it.”
“The jersey, the game,
hearing my name, it was amazing. But what made it perfect was seeing you
against the glass like we were in high school again. Remembering every time I
told myself not to get close to someone as good as you are. Thinking back to
that day in college when I told you I was going to chase you. Feeling the
warmth of your hand over mine seeping through the glass during the
championship. Recalling every time I wanted to kiss you, hold you, tell you how
much I love you. I have that now, and you, December, are what made this
perfect, because you are all that matters to me now.”

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all
things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife,
and blogger, she can never choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so
she writes both. She's a graduate of Troy University, where she studied
European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter
to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top
Military Mom Blog the last two years, and celebrates the complex issues
surrounding the military life she adores.
When she's not writing, she's tying on hockey skates for her
kids, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her
army-aviator husband of eleven years. They finally can call Colorado home along
with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog.
