Some damages can't be hidden...

CHARLIE

PTSD is a bitch.

I lived through sadistic horrors no one should be forced to endure. After my medical discharge from the military four years ago, I thought my physical scars were the worst souvenir I'd have.

I was wrong.

Now, I teeter on an emotional razor's edge. I'm terrified of men. I can't handle darkness. I battle night terrors, flashbacks, and panic attacks, and I'm always armed to the teeth.

Those bastards didn't just rape me. They destroyed me.

MARK

Career-ending, life-changing injuries are a bitch.

An IED on a routine mission in Afghanistan left me fighting to survive. A lot of days, I wish I hadn't. I lost everything – my career, my home, my brothers-in-arms, my purpose.

And of course, my leg.

Now I'm half a man, useless, worthless, destined to spend my life alone. If it weren't for Charlie, my best friend for more than two decades, I'd end it all.

Then I end up with a front-row seat to her devastating night terrors.

Charlie's pain gives me a new purpose. She's helping me with my physical recovery. I'll help with her emotional recovery. I owe her too much to do anything else.

Especially since every bit of the hell she's been through is my fault.

NOTE: This is Book 1 in a completed three-book series. These books need to be read in order. Charlie and Mark's journeys to self-acceptance will conclude in Book 3 of the SHATTERED trilogy.

NOTE: This series ends with a HEA in the third book, but the first and second novels do not have a HEA.

TRIGGER WARNING: Please read the note from the author to see if this book is a fit for you. Specific trigger warnings are located inside this book.
