Across the Sea
Always & Forever #2
by J.E. Adams 

Naval officers Emily and Gene fell in love in Naples, Italy. After heartbreak and loneliness, Emily Rosen had finally lowered her barriers and allowed a man back into her life. Every day she spent with Gene made her more sure that he was the man for her, the man she wanted to spend her life with.  

Gene Bain, lead petty officer, had his Naval career back on track after being hurt badly in an accident. Gene was sure that he wanted to take their relationship to the next level. When their ships reunited in Haifa, Israel, Gene was ready with a plan: a plan involving a ring.

With new mission assignments in hand, Emily and Gene would find themselves separated again, forced back into danger. Would their love survive, or would they be lost at sea?

Plenty of naval jargon to keep the military side of things going, but also soft and cute when the characters write love letters to each other.  It was an easy read with enough steam to keep these two moving all ahead full.
