Tough Mudder: Mile 1.5 First Obstacle, Berlin Wall. It’s always exciting, and a bit nerve wracking when you get to the first obstacle. This year Berlin Wall was the first to be conquered. A wall ten feet high that you must find your way over one way or another. I walked up to the wall and studied it a bit. It wasn’t two seconds when a sweet young man offered to help me up. I politely declined the help. I wanted to do this on my own. That right there felt good. The parkour classes I had been taking prepared me for this. I jumped up, grabbed the top edge with the help of a little edge placed three feet high on the wall. I got my feet up as high as they could go in a sort of crouching position, took a breath and got my leg over the edge. I quickly pulled myself over and hovered at the top for a moment. I looked back from where I had just come and then to where I was going. It was a magnificent way to start this event. I could see I had friends on both sides willing to help me, but I did it on my own. My heart soared. Today would be a great day.

“I’m not kissing you to get it over with. When I kiss you for the first time, you’re going to want that kiss more than your next breath.”
Montana girl Kristine Stone was strong enough to break out of an abusive marriage, but is she strong enough for the road that lies ahead? For the first time in her life, Kristine finds she has some control over her life. Haunted by her ex-husband and a newly acquired stalker, she leaves Montana to work in the U.S. Senate. Kristine issues a moratorium on dating. This hardly deters Kadyn Rand, the Air Force Captain who threatens to tear down every wall she’s ever built. Still, someone from her dark past refuses to be ignored, and Kristine finds herself in yet another fight for her life.
Tall, dark, and determined are the words that best describe Kadyn Rand. He is too stoic to be swept away by much of anything, but a vulnerable woman from Montana manages to do just that when she finds herself alone and in danger in DC. Kadyn is intelligent, resourceful, and a fiercely devoted friend. His sense of humor runs on the sarcastic side. He’s also the kind of guy who likes to keep people guessing about what’s going on inside his head, which is why he makes a conscious effort not to smile. That is until he meets Kristine Stone. Her missteps regularly get a smile out of him. Her moratorium on dating intrigues him, while her vulnerability calls to his protective side. Kadyn tries to earn Kristine’s love and her trust but soon learns it will take much more than that to save her from her past.
