I don’t let anyone close. Not since I lost my wife and learned how fast everything can disappear.
Dr. Gwen Abernathy wasn’t supposed to matter. But when she uncovers a dangerous pattern of missing medical supplies at a military hospital, she becomes a target and I step in before she’s silenced.
Now I’m her shadow. Watching her. Protecting her. Wanting her far more than I should. Gwen doesn’t need saving.
She needs a partner willing to stand between her and an enemy testing how to cripple military medical response. Every moment together strips away my control and reminds me what it costs to care.
I’m trained to walk into explosions. But risking my heart for her might be the deadliest mission of all.
