Have you ever woken up every day afraid of everything?
For single mom and widow Melody Carter, six months passed
since an IED ripped her life apart. Everyone is sympathetic
and offers platitudes of comfort and support. Everyone
thinks they know why she’s grieving, but Melody isn’t
mourning her broken heart. She’s ashamed to be grateful her
abusive husband won’t hurt her anymore and scared for her
child. Born with a mild heart defect, her daughter needs
lifesaving surgery and with her funds tight and her
emotional scars tighter, she’s running out of options. When
she receives an offer for assistance from Mike’s Place, can
Melody put her faith in the men her husband called friend?
Have you ever woken up, day after day, to discover your
body’s betrayal?
Marine Captain, Joe Anderson Cooper, received the Silver
Star for Valor when he led his unit through heavy fire to
rescue fellow Marines. Despite numerous injuries, the
Captain refused medical aid, insisting that the medics
attend others. A broken back and shattered bones put Captain
Cooper in a wheelchair and every day is a battle to keep his
recovery on track and his sanity intact. When a single mom
moves in to the apartment next door to his and he recognizes
kindred—damaged—soul, can he overcome her fear and be the
man she’s always needed?
Can these two lonely souls rise to the challenge or will
their scars trap them forever?
