Markus Reiner is haunted by violent, war-ridden memories of his past in the U.S. Army. Now back home, he struggles to reconnect with a society that has long since moved on, leaving him stranded in a limbo between the battlefield and the mundane. Daily life feels foreign to him, and anything can send him spiraling back into the horrors of combat. Nobody understands. While his PTSD isolates him from the world, no one seems to notice his suffering-except Lydia, a bright and ambitious photographer hiding her own dark secret. Their paths cross in unexpected ways but as Markus tries to find solace in their connection, his unresolved trauma and Lydia's past threaten to derail the fragile peace he's trying to build. Caught between the echoes of war and the struggles of civilian life, Markus must confront his demons and rediscover what it means to truly "come home". But when the dust settles, Markus will have to decide whether he can let go of the past and embrace a future-or if he's destined to remain a prisoner of his own haunted memories. **WARNING** This book contains explicit language, graphic sexual content, and scenes of intense violence. Reader discretion is advised. Proceed With Caution! #1 in #soldier 10/29/24
