Haunted by the past. Bound by fate. Jaxon I thought I’d found peace in the isolation of my grandfather’s mountain cabin. My PTSD has been my shadow for years, and the quiet is the only thing that gives me any semblance of control. But when a storm rolls in, it brings something I didn’t expect—a scream. A woman’s scream. I race into the forest, rifle in hand, driven by something I can’t explain. And there, bound to a tree and left to die, I find her. A woman who looks like she’s been through hell, and yet, she’s still alive. Her name is Maura. Her past is a nightmare she can’t fully remember, but it’s clear she’s been tortured, broken in ways I can’t begin to understand. And now, she’s here, with me. Two lost souls, thrown together by fate. As we try to survive the storm—and each other—trust becomes our only hope. But with the weight of our pasts pushing against us, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll ever be able to escape it. Can we truly heal together, or will our scars drag us both under? ~ Mountains keep their secrets, but can love heal their scars? The untamed beauty of the mountains is no match for these scarred men. Fate brings women who hold the power to mend their wounds, but first, they must navigate the rugged terrain of their pasts. As they confront their scars, they discover that true healing can only come from one thing… love. Each story in ‘Whispered Echoes’ delves into the lives of our wounded heroes and the courageous women who dare to love them.
