3000 Reasons to Stay

When responsibility and desire collide...

For Carrie Waller, dating is a distant memory. She juggles custody of her twin teen daughters with her condescending ex, and the only action she gets is from the vibrations from her calendar app notifications. When she meets Marine Force Fitness Instructor Ryan Duran at a wedding, his quiet confidence-and their instant chemistry-make Carrie wish there wasnt a continent separating them.

After nearly twenty years with the Marines, Ryan is readying to join the civilian ranks. He dreams of opening a gym for veterans, but his meddling Marine Colonel grandfather will only invest if Ryan agrees to settle down, find a wife, and make-up with his estranged parents.

When Carrie arrives in San Diego for a consulting gig, shes determined to enjoy her time away with a to-do list for fun that includes no-strings flirtation. When fate throws her directly into Ryans path, feelings and desires swell, but Ryan cant afford a fling if hes going lock down his post-military stability he craves. With lives 3000 miles apart, they both must decide: how far is too far for happily-ever-after?
