I’ve been hiding who I am for so long I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be myself. - Hunter Two years ago, I retired from the army and started my life as a civilian. I have a job I enjoy, friends who are my family, and more secrets than I can count. I might not be a soldier anymore, but I can’t seem to let the past go. It haunts me, and has made it impossible for me to truly be who I am. Then Shane is hired by my company and we're teamed up to work on a project. He’s young, handsome, and he has a knack for making me forget who I’m supposed to be. I’ve never let anyone see my true desires, but Shane makes me want to let go and finally let someone in. To let him take care of me the way I’ve always craved. As much as I want to fight it, I can’t say no when he shows me who’s boss. Battle to Surrender is an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, hurt/comfort story featuring a retired soldier suffering from PTSD, his sweet but firm younger co-worker, a found family, and all the feels.
