For a soldier, leave can be a chance to rest and be with loved ones, or even to fall in love. However, after a long separation, things are not always as they were before...

Love on Leave includes the following four standalone stories, all previously published as individual books: ¿¿Saving Meg A soldier returns to keep a promise-but it will prove more difficult than he imagined When Lieutenant Jonathan Lewis loses his closest friend on the battlefield, he makes him a promise: to take care of his sister and mother.
