If there was a bad decision to be made, Jenna Angel would make it. She was determined to turn her life around after her failed marriage to a man who tried to kill her family. The only good thing to come from that disaster was her son, Zachary, who was hitting the terrible twos. Jenna was overworked and overly tired, leaving no room for anything as taxing as romance. But when Ryan Jackson walked back into her life, making his sexy demands, Jenna had to decide if she wanted to jump into the deep end with him or not-and she had always loved swimming. Ryan walked away from Jenna and Zac two years ago, and it was the hardest thing he had ever had to do. They technically weren't his, but he wanted them to be. When Zachary was born, he still owed the Navy two more years and refused to put Jenna through the possibility of his being killed in action. Now that he was back in town and ready to take his place in Jenna's life, he worried that she wouldn't want the same thing. He wanted to claim her body and soul, leaving no doubt that he was ready to have her and Zac in his life full time. Jenna was the strongest woman he knew, but would Ryan be able to convince her to give up control and lean on him when trouble came calling once again? Love's Patient Journey is the second book of The Relinquished Series by K.L. Ramsey.
