On the run, living in their car as winter sets in,
Avery will do whatever it takes to hide from a monster and keep her daughter
safe. One good deed on a snowy night, changes everything.
3 former military men and 1 German Shepherd with
their own damage, take the mother and daughter in. They fall hard for Avery and
Chloe and will burn the world down to keep them safe.
Easton – carries the guilt of failure at losing half
his unit in their last engagement. He sees too many parallels to his own
childhood trauma with Avery and Chloe. His honor demands that he care and
protect them. He fights his attraction to Avery with an iron will.
Zack – The charming playboy had his self-esteem
gutted by the scars his body carries and the loss of his leg. One tiny girl has
him changing his prospective on his injuries. Avery sees the man not the injury
and the hole inside him slowly begins to fill with a love he never thought he’d
have a chance at again.
Ryker – His sheer size and bulk intimidate and keep
a safe distance between him and others. A man of few words, his main forms of
communication are long drawn out growls and grunts. The tiny wisp of a girl
cracks all his armor with her sweetness and her mother feels like a missing
piece of his soul when she’s in his arms. When he finds the man who hurt them,
he will annihilate him in the most painful way possible.
Kanga (dog) – The lady makes his pack happy and her
female pup reminds him that there’s fun to be had, dimming the memories of
bullets and bombs that took him and his pack out of the fight.
I have so many questions about this one. I enjoyed
most of it but struggled with how Avery’s ex found them/followed the guys back
to their house and got to her. Beyond that I liked all the guys, and they were
super sweet with Avery and her daughter. They definitely fell first and wanted
to take care of them both. If you want heavy emotions this hits the mark.
