Author Description

How can a single choice change the course of your life forever? Maddox One mistake is all it took to rob me of my purpose. Now I’m back in the very town I’ve actively avoided since a chance encounter with the only woman to ever catch my interest left me reeling. Rekindling an old flame was the furthest thing from my mind when I first got here. But something about Dee has me craving things I never even knew I wanted. With the dangers of my high-risk job no longer being an issue, the future I once thought of as nothing but a lofty pipe dream suddenly doesn’t seem quite so impossible. The question is, does she even still want me now that I’m only half a man? Dee One night was all it took to convince me that the jaded organ I’ve guarded for well over a decade is still capable of functioning. The problem is, it only seems to beat for the man who’s spent the better part of the last two years ghosting me. Now he’s back, visibly tortured and recovering from a horrific ordeal that left him with so much more than emotional trauma. Maddox needs my support now more than ever. Someone to help guide him while he adjusts to this new civilian life he’s been forced into. I can ignore the sizzling tension sparking between us whenever we’re in the same room together and simply be his friend. Right? If only that didn’t leave such a bitter taste in my mouth.
