Guarding His Heart

DocI was Air Force Pararescue. Until a helo crash ended my career. I lost everything. Including myself.Then a scarred, broken man offered me a job.It’s illegal, irresponsible, and dangerous.Those I treat can’t go to the hospital. Or the authorities. I don’t ask questions. Don’t get close. It’s a lonely existence.I find solace in camping trips to an island few people ever see.The resort’s caretaker has a story she doesn’t want to share. Fine by me. Or…is it?Saving her is second nature. Caring for her is risky.She’s being hunted. So I break my only rule and let someone in.
NatashaThe men I served with broke every oath I hold dear. Testifying cost me my career, my family, and any hope of a normal life. They went to jail, and I ran.They weren’t supposed to get out.This tiny island is my sanctuary. Until one of them tracks me down.Doc almost dies saving me, and I lose a piece of my heart to him in the process.He says he knows people who can help keep me safe. But he’s wrong. No one can stop a corrupt Ranger team out for revenge.Or…can they?
