Seven years ago, Jaxon Kane enlisted in the army and shattered my heart. Now, he's back.

Except too much has changed while he was gone. The spirited, passionate girl he first fell in love with no longer exists. I live as a shadow of my former self, a shell of damaged dreams and unfulfilled potential. Too broken for second chances, too broken for him, I cling to my dark secret. I'll hide the truth from Jax no matter the cost.

But Jax is a hot, confident, and fearless soldier. He may carry around old hurts and wear new scars but at his core, he's a fighter. I just wish he wasn't fighting for me. Or my heart.

Contains mature themes.
