Worlds collide, hearts ignite, and a rescue fraught with peril forces a wounded, ex-military, mountain man to envision a life beyond his reclusive existence… I have nothing to give the irresistibly curvy woman who crosses my path and invades my heart and soul. I’m a shell of a man… Racked by PTSD and debilitating injuries that run far deeper than the scars visible on my body. It’s why I retreated into the woods in the first place…to spare those around me the pain of my broken existence. But the deliciously sensual, surprisingly innocent teacher I rescue from a violent fate has other plans…plans that include lessons about love and forgiveness that I’ll never forget. The question Can I put these lessons into practice to keep the woman who's stolen my heart before it's too late?
