Love, Loss, and Honor Volume II: The Palouse (Love, Loss, and Honor, #2)

In the series' previous volume, seldom content Karen was shoved off a cliff while escaping a serial killer. While her body lay comatose in ICU, her soul occupied the 16th century body of Mariken. That woman was burned at the stake as a heretic releasing her soul to re-enter Karen's body. In this book, modern-day nurse practitioner Karen is a grieving military widow battling PTSD. Fighting for normality, almost able to breathe again, it all falls apart when a disturbed veteran living in a homeless camp claims to be her lost fiancee from 1573 Antwerp. Unwilling to believe, Karen moves her family to the Washington State Palouse region to set up a new life for her children. Starting to move on, she has opened up to the possibility of love once more. Her life comes unglued again when the homeless veteran resurfaces as a cowboy on a neighboring ranch trying to make sense of 21st-century life in the American Pacific Northwest.
