Wish Upon a Christmas Star

Missing!
Gunnery Sergeant Emmett Dupree has one final mission—get home before Christmas and return to civilian life with his beautiful wife. His family believes he's missing in Afghanistan. A snowstorm destroys all forms of communication with his hometown in the mountains of Montana. Knowing his wife and family worry about his fate has him scrambling stateside via any means possible.
When her husband goes missing, Violet tries her best to keep the faith. But the bed is way too big and cold without her man. He's given twenty years to the Corps. Now it's time for them to concentrate on building a life and a family in their dream cabin. Sitting on their wraparound porch, she spots a shooting star and makes a wish.
There's no snow deep enough to keep this determined Marine from the arms of the woman he left behind.
