In a quiet Colorado mountain town, a homeless Iraq war veteran is brutally attacked—but was it random, or rooted in his shadowy military past? Hannah Livingston, a police officer and former Army MP with her own scars, is drawn to the wounded veteran, seeing a strength in him he no longer believes he has. When two murders put Jake in the crosshairs, Hannah must decide how far she’ll go to protect a man haunted by his past—and hunted by something darker than either of them imagined. The question isn’t who wants Jake gone—but what he knows that’s worth killing for. Together, they must unravel a deadly secret lurking beneath the town’s peaceful surface. A powerful story of trauma, redemption, and the bond between combat veterans who refuse to give up.
