A rough bar owner. A worried single mother. A rebellious teenager.
Their chance encounter launches Mercenary and Holly into a relationship neither thought possible. Age difference, abandonment issues, lurking darkness from a past career, are all good reasons not to get involved but they aren't good enough to combat the lust and attraction they feel and eventually give into.
Holly finds a man worth standing beside, a man who's more than his road name, more than the military career he left behind and the bitterness it created in him. Mercenary sees one hell of a woman in Holly. Her strength, resilience, devotion, and love are beacons of light and hope to this jaded warrior.
Great story and characters. Rose rarely disappoints and this promises to be an interesting and intriguing series.
