Happily ever after isn't easy to find - no matter how much you might want it. James Hardy knows that better than anyone. With his wedding approaching, the only thing he longs for is peace, and maybe a little time to spend with his beloved Mandy. What he gets is a bullet in the shoulder from an anonymous sniper, and a worried fianc e. James is on edge, and when Mandy becomes an unintended target, the eldest Hardy brother finds himself in danger of losing everything. The investigation isn't easy, and the arrival of his mother, father, and future in-laws only compounds the problem. James soon finds himself in an untenable position: He wants everyone to think things are fine, but his military past is stalking the future he desperately needs to deliver. Between wedding plans, moving into a new house, and Mandy's obstinate personality, James is in a fix. He has to ask for help from unlikely sources, and he has to protect Mandy from the one person who could ruin their dreams. James is determined to make it down the aisle - but there is a gun-happy madman equally determined to stop him dead in his tracks. Will James and Mandy get to say "I do," or is happily ever after a dream they'll never be able to realize?
