The General'sBride

Prologue

People say first impressions last forever.

Mine lasted exactly three seconds.

Three seconds before I decided General Alexander Reeves was the most intimidating man I'd ever seen.

Three seconds before I embarrassed myself in front of him.

Three seconds before my perfectly ordinary life began falling apart in the most unexpected way.

If someone had told me that the intimidating and quiet man sitting across the restaurant table would one day become my husband, my safest place, and the greatest love of my life...

I would have laughed.

Very loudly.

After all...

our story was never supposed to happen.
