Description
Mother-to-be, Annie Thomas, had the perfect plan to escape the mental and physical abuse she and her four year-old daughter, Jossie, had endured for the past five years by the hands of Louis Dexter. Within moments of fleeing Tuscany, she becomes the eyewitness to a brutal altercation and must step in to save a stranger's life, sacrificing the only chance at freedom for her and her children. Home from his last deployment, Harrison Clarke walks into a near fatal ambush instigated by long time rival, Louis Dexter, only to be saved by the precision shooting of a mysterious young woman. When he officially meets his rescuer after she brings him a homemade lunch in his hospital room, Harrison can't get Annie off his mind. She gives him a mental peace he's been searching for since his last tour in Afghanistan. He promises to help her any way he can, no matter the cost. Despite her complicated history with Louis, Annie's drawn to the retired soldier. When she's with him, she feels safe for the first time in years, until Louis' illegal activities implicate Annie and threaten to tear her world apart. Can these two navigate the pressures of each of their worlds to help heal their Wounded Hearts?
