When Claire Cole meets a sailor at the hospital, he’s just another enlisted man in need of her care . . . until he mistakes a nurse’s compassion for true love, and a few dates as the beginning of a grand romance. But then Claire visits the USS Sykes to tell him that it’s over, and something in him snaps. He curses. He begs. And when that doesn’t work, he gets angry, wrapping his hands around her throat and squeezing until he sees the life leave her eyes.
