Cristen 'Cricket' Takle We started out as nothing more than pen pals. An older man who was already out living his life in one of the most dangerous ways possible. Kaiden, known as Goliath to everyone else, was in the military on the same team as my brother Drayven. Over time, feelings changed and I wanted more with the man. A man who doesn't hold my past against me. While he says he wants the same thing, I'm not sure if he's being completely honest. We don't really know one another the way we should in order to decide if a relationship is the next step for us. The only thing I know for sure is I want a love like my parents; pure, true, and lasting. Can I be the woman Goliath is truly looking for? Kaiden 'Goliath' Sebring In the military, I meet a group of guys who become my brothers. They have my six and know I have theirs without a doubt in their mind. With one of those men, my best friend Scorch, comes his little sister and her best friend. Cricket and Ophelia begin sending us care packages with small letters in them. Cricket soon becomes a pen pal for me. She's young and has her entire life in front of her and I'm already becoming jaded by the things I see on a daily basis. Soon, feelings begin to grow and change unexpectedly. I'm already the keeper of her secrets, but it's not enough for me. I want a love like my Pappy and Nanny had; full of love, respect, and a ride or die kind of thing. Will outside forces tear us apart before things even get started between us?

Ophelia Waters My entire life I've wanted one man. He's my protector, a friend, and someone I know will always have my back. It doesn't matter if this is because I'm his little sister's best friend and spend more time at their house than my own. I have my reasons for not wanting to be around my family. Cricket and Drayven's family have accepted me as one of their own. It's no wonder I want the man who has always been there for me. Until he leaves for the military and I begin writing him letters with the care packages we send the guys. Never once do I get a response back from him. After so many years, is it time for me to let go of my crush and move on from a man who will never see me as anything other than his little sister's best friend? Drayven 'Scorch' Takle Leaving home at the age of eighteen, I join the military. My overall need to protect everyone in my life is what drives me to enlist. I leave everyone behind I care about to start a new journey in life. However, it doesn't mean I forget them. There's no way I can forget someone like Ophelia. She's pure, sweet, loving, and everything good in this world. I don't deserve her and I never will. So, I keep her at arm's length and will never overstep the boundaries I have set for myself. Until I realize Ophelia is the only one I want. She's been there for me in some of my darkest times and has no clue she was my entire reason for continuing on when I wanted to give up. Can I prove to her I'm the man who will stand at her side when I've pushed her away for so long?

Robynn Graves I was given the best gift anyone could have given me; the custody of my younger brother, Jerome, when my parents can no longer care for him. I know in my heart we need to start over and that's what we do. Unfortunately, accidents happen and my life changes irrevocably in a split second. Now, I need to decide if I'm in the right place to start over or if I should admit defeat and head back home. Can the attention from one man change my entire outlook on life and the events that shape us? Knight 'Anguish' Baker I've seen more shit in my life than anyone should ever witness or carry around on their shoulders. So many people depend on me for various reasons and I don't want to disappoint a single one of them. Especially with all of the changes we're going through and the failed mission still haunting so many of us. Everything changes as I get to know the one woman in town who wants nothing to do with me as more than a client. Can I show Robynn there's more to life than how she's living and that she's not to blame for the past?
