When Ruby Cade wins the lottery, the first person she calls is her husband, Sam. But the air force captain is on yet another top secret mission, even though he promised her he'd take himself out of the field. At the end of her patience, Ruby files for divorce and buys a farm with her winnings.

Then an injured Sam shows up on her doorstep, out of the military and asking for another chance. It's everything Ruby ever wanted…but has he come back to Ruby only because he was discharged? Or was her true windfall not money, after all, but her husband's love?
