β¦ Synopsis
Life was roses.
I was happy. I had my dream job. I'd finally fallen in love with the man who'd been waiting for me since he was a boy. Soon his four years in the Army would be over, and we'd be together forever. My perfect life was squarely in my palm.
And then it was snatched from me.
The harshest, cruelest truth became my reality.
And I turned into a shell of my former self.
Then a stranger arrived, wearing Army fatigues and closely cropped dark hair.
Fulfilling a promise to his comrade-in-arms brought him to my front door.
And the focus of his promise, it turned out, was me.
His mission was simple:
Care for me.
Heal me.
Bring me back to life.
But what started out as an uncomplicated mission is quickly turning personal.
He came here to take care of me.
But neither of us expected how much he'd need me, too.
And we definitely didn't expect these feelings.
My broken heart knows how wrong it is.
We'll fight it, harder than we've ever fought anything.
But I'm afraid to win, and I'm even more terrified to lose.
Of all his missions, I may be his most dangerous.
