About

He was trained to face danger. She was trained to save lives. But neither was prepared to face each other again. Years ago, their relationship fell apart when his career as a special forces soldier became more than Guest could bear. Constant deployments, unanswered calls, and the uncertainty of whether he would return home eventually wore her down. She wanted a future with him, one where his life wasn't constantly on the line. She wanted him to leave the military. But he refused. Rather than abandon the career he had devoted his life to, he made the decision to end their relationship. He walked away, leaving her with unanswered questions, a broken heart, and a resentment that only grew with time. Years passed. Guest buried herself in her studies, pursued medicine, and eventually became a qualified doctor. When an opportunity to join a United Nations medical mission arose, she accepted, hoping for a fresh start away from the complications of her previous life. Little did she know that her decision to reject the advances of a powerful hospital shareholder would eventually lead her there. What she never expected was to see him again. Older, more experienced, and still wearing the uniform she once begged him to abandon. Now, assigned as part of the special forces unit responsible for protecting the UN medical team, he becomes the very person she must work alongside. The man she once loved is now the man she can barely stand to look at. She wants nothing to do with him. He knows he has no right to ask for another chance. But in a place where danger lurks beyond every perimeter, avoiding each other isn't an option. He once chose his duty over her. Now, with her life under his protection, he'll have to face the woman he left behind—and the feelings neither of them ever truly buried. Some wounds don't heal with time. Some goodbyes are never really final.
