She snuck into his truck looking for a hero.

He never expected her to save him from his past.

War hero, Daniel Swanson, flies home with five goodbye letters in his pocket, five caskets in the cargo, and a heart so heavy he can barely wrap his mind around the sorrow. He lost a piece of himself overseas, five pieces actually, and he's not sure he can ever get them back.

Plagued with survivor's guilt, Daniel heads to the only place he's ever felt peace, the cabin. He hopes the mountains will bring clarity and peace of mind, but they bring something entirely different: a strong-willed stowaway with a cartel hit on her back, and one hell of a desire to live.

When his new mission becomes keeping Kelli safe, she shows him that surviving is nothing to feel guilty about. She shows him that life and love are worth fighting for... always.
