A bullet nearly

ended him on the battlefield. In that final breath, Dirk Sam saw only Piper— the London girl whose heart he shattered years ago. Haunted by the promise he broke, the battle-hardened soldier returns to claim her. But Piper’s guarded eyes hide fresh bruises from her stepfather’s cruelty. Her stepfather’s sinister plans are tightening like a noose. She’s trapped in a web of threats she can’t escape alone. 

Piper Wilson’s heart shattered the night Dirk Sam vanished from London without a word. Six years later, the soldier who once promised forever storms back—scarred, silent, and burning with purpose. But trusting the man who broke her feels impossible. 

He’s here to man up—or die trying. But can she risk her heart on the ghost who once broke it?
