Disarm

Elsie Sherman has carried a crush on Henry Logan, an Air Force officer and her brother's best friend, since she was twelve years old — long before Henry stepped into her brother's role after his death in action. A single dance ignites years of suppressed longing, and Elsie finally gives herself to the man she's always wanted. But as she starts peeling back Henry's guarded layers, she learns he's set to deploy to the very place that took her brother from her.

June Gray's complete novel traces Elsie and Henry's relationship through grief, desire, and the terror of loving someone headed into danger.
