My scarred leg and a piece of paper are all I have to show for seven years of service.
Honorably discharged, they call it.
More of a consultation prize if you ask me.

I've been in rehab for the last six months. Two overseas and four in the states.
That's a lot of time to contemplate life.
Even better, it's a lot of reflecting on my past mistakes.

Six months ago, I was a passenger in a humvee listening to my brother-in-arms share his dreams for his future.
Now I'm the guy who's tasked with delivering his If I Die letter to his only surviving relative. His little sister, Evie

Six months is a long time to wait for your brother's last words.
I promised Shane I'd make sure they reached his sister.
But I never expected the little girl he described in his stories to be all grown up, firey, and sexy as hell.
I didn't plan to fall in love.

Now Evie is my reason for living. She's what gets me through to another day. But she's also hurting, and I remind her of what she's lost every day that I stay.

Can two broken hearts find peace within each other, or will the truth I've kept hidden break us both for good?

About the Series

The Heart of the Wounded Hero series was created to pay tribute to and raise awareness of our wounded heroes. Each of the over eighty authors involved have contributed time, money, and stories to the cause. These love stories are inspiring and uplifting, showing the sacrifice of our veterans but also giving them the happily ever after they deserve.
By increasing awareness through our books, we believe we can, in a small part, help the wounded heroes that have sacrificed so much. Thank you for reading.
