The love story that started it all... PTSD is a bitch. Charlie, a battlefield medic, survived unimaginable horrors at the hands of insurgent kidnappers. After leaving the military life, she'd assumed her physical scars were the worst souvenir she'd have. She was wrong. Now life is a different kind of battle. Night terrors. Panic attacks. An irrational, unrelenting fear of men. A desperate need to always be armed and vigilant. Intense determination to never again be a victim. Sometimes, broken people can't be fixed. Career-ending, life-changing injuries are a bitch. An IED on a routine mission destroyed Mark's world. He lost his career, his home, his brothers-in-arms, his purpose. And his leg. If it weren't for his best friend Charlie, he'd end it all. Instead, his front row seat to her devastating night terrors gives both of them new purpose. She's helping him with his physical recovery. He'll help her with her emotional recovery. He owes her too much to do anything else. Especially since every bit of the hell she's been through is his fault. This former-military, friends-to-lovers, found-family complete trilogy follows Charlie and Mark on their emotional journeys to recovery and self-acceptance. It engages with difficult topics, including SA, graphic violence, physical injury, PTSD, depression, self-loathing, thoughts of self-harm, and the pain of infertility. It portrays these topics realistically while also offering hope, healing, and a hard-won happily ever after.
