Deploy, Part Two — Jamie Magee

Declan Rawlings was six days from leaving Bradyville and beginning his service contract as a Marine. Without warning, the storm of the century pinned him against Justice Rose, a girl who had broken him more than once in his short life. And she did so by being his contradiction-the one who made him feel. He could see the war in her eyes, the abuse she hid. How strong she was. Though faultless, he blamed himself for not seeing it sooner. For the first time ever he doubted the only path he ever saw himself living. Their one night was meant to be an end, but instead opened a Pandora's Box of small town evils spurned by jealousy, which was seeded in family strife between the Rawlings and the Souters. The missing, the murder, the cover up, the abuse, all of it should have been enough to divide and test the love between Declan and Justice, but it was nothing compared to the hell they wreaked on each other's hearts. Fighting for what she loves, what completes her is a war Justice cannot afford to lose. her Marine told her to fight.
