Gone For a Soldier (The College Route)

Denise Essex

Kadeem Harris is an enticing Airman First Class in the air force. He was smothered by an overbearing mother in his Chicago hometown, due to her fear that he would become a statistic. Since he left home, his goal in life is to take as many risks and travel to as many places as possible. He has no plans to slow down and has taken advantage of every extraordinary opportunity the military has provided him. NaTalley “Talley” Brown is a temptingly hypnotic twenty-year-old who is only interested in surface-level entanglements. She recently learned that the mother who raised her, ruthlessly kidnapped her from her birth parents. Thanks to her childhood love, Demetrius “D” Black, she’s been reunited with her family of origin, only to have memories from around the time of the kidnapping resurface. As rage toward the woman who kidnapped her emerges, fear of disappointing her birth-family grows, so she silently keeps her true emotions to herself. When Kadeem visits with his buddy Rashad, at ENEP, he meets NaTalley, and their sexual chemistry is undeniable. Kadeem has befriended both Talley’s brother Nate, and her childhood love, D. He knows enough to know, an affair with her will not be accepted with open arms. What happens when Kadeem gets orders to move out of the country? Will Talley join him for the adventure of her life? Or will she silence herself once again, fearful her absence will reopen old wounds around her disappearance for her family of origin?
