One life in chaos. One second-chance at love. One desperate decision that could tear it all apart. Chase Hunter embodies the American dream. Growing up on a ranch nestled in the foothills of Wyoming, free to explore the vast wilderness around him, he has it all – excellent grades, star athleticism, and a beautiful girl on his arm. But when creditors come for the ranch and his entire world is shattered, Chase must leave it all to find new meaning in his life. His search will take him to the Special Forces, to the hell-fires of Afghanistan, and into the arms of the lovely Tess. The wounds of war, however, are not so easy to overcome. Will brotherhood and love be enough to rebuild his shattered life? Or will the scars he carries prove too great for even love to heal?
