They wrapped my husband in the stars and stripes, as if some fancy flag could numb the pain of his loss—pretend his young life wasn't squandered in the bloodstained muck of a foreign land. But I know the truth. Mack made me promises...and now there'll be hell to pay keeping him from fulfilling them. So when a mysterious Society gives me a chance—just one—to be with Mack again, I sign in desperate red ink, thirsting already for the slide of his medal-strapped chest against mine. My man, my beautiful brave Mack, summoned back to me through veils mortal eyes shouldn't pierce. Yet as we sink into each other, I discover Mack guards red-blooded secrets about his last days—secrets with consequential weight regarding my country, my hero husband, and me. But Mack has never denied me before...and I won't be refused now. Not when I've already lost so much. I'm Maxine Connor, sole holder of a hero's heart, hungry to unveil every hidden scrap of burden...before the dawn steals my Mack away forever.
