Serena Bell’s Returning Home series pairs military heroes with love interests who challenge them to open up after years of service. Starting with Hold On Tight in 2014, the four-book series tracks different veterans as they figure out how to build personal lives after the structure and demands of military careers.
The books tackle real issues that come with the transition from service to civilian life, but Bell never lets the heavy subject matter overwhelm the romance at the center of each story. Characters carry real baggage, and the relationships develop as they work through it together rather than around it.
