Author: Alison Mello
Genre: Military Romance
Release Date: December 5, 2017
I left home a proud, strong woman, determined and eager to support my country. But I came back a completely different person.
I’m wounded, scarred, and nothing more than an empty shell. I’ve lost my ability to open up to those closest to me. Why? Because no one understands. No one knows the hell I’ve been through.
Every time I close my eyes the nightmares are there, waiting, lurking in the shadows, ready to torment me further. My only escape is the sting of alcohol, the burn that numbs my pain. Everyone sees it as a weakness, calls it a coping mechanism. I call it survival.
I’m a lost cause…until I meet him—a Boston cop with demons of his own, who knows what it’s like to be haunted by his past. He understands my pain, knows all about the nightmares, and makes me feel less…alone.
But we are both broken, tainted by our pasts. How can we heal each other when we’re both shattered souls?

Review:
Alison got me. She got me good. This one broke my heart and taped it back up. We meet Lexi who is serving our country. She is a medic in the Army. She is a very proud woman. After getting hit by the enemy and surviving a blast, she is sent home. She has so many issues coming home that I don't know how Alison got it all spelled out for us.
Getting a new partner isn't always easy but Keegan is adjusting. He was on a call when he lost his other partner, a druggie. It seems that druggies have been changing his life since he was a little boy. He is currently getting into the routine, doing to therapy, and healing.
These two meet through Lexi's roommate who happens to be Keegan's new partner and hit it off. The chemistry with these two is hot. They understand each other, listen to each other, help each other. It's a long hard road but we are given everything. We are involved with their feelings, their decisions, and their lives. Alison does a great job of showing us a lot of the hard, nothing is easy.
