𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 When a Navy SEAL mission in Iraq goes tragically wrong, Chief Sam Lawson is left shattered-his body broken, his future uncertain. Sent home with injuries no one expected him to survive, Sam is forced to face a new kind of war: recovery. At home, his wife Allie becomes the anchor to a life neither of them recognize. She's holding up a household, raising their daughter, and caring for the man she almost lost-physically, emotionally, and in every way that matters. Healing isn't neat. It's messy, brutal, and painfully slow. There are nightmares, hospital beds, slammed doors, and more than a few moments when love has to be louder than the fear. But there are also sidewalk chalk drawings, late-night kitchen dancing, and second chances whispered in the dark. This isn't a love story that ends with a goodbye kiss. It's one that begins when everything else falls apart-and they choose each other anyway. _______________________________________ This story is inspired by the real-life strength of Navy SEAL Joseph Hildebrand, whose journey shaped Sam's character in every way that counts. Allie and the children are based on people I've personally witnessed walking through fire and choosing love again. I do not own the rights to any characters from Warfare.

Iraq, 2006. In the midst of war, Zuleyha, a young Kurdish girl, tries to survive in a country on fire. For her, the American soldiers are nothing more than invaders, responsible for the destruction of her people. But everything changes when she finds a wounded soldier near her village: Sam, a Navy SEAL hit in an ambush. She should have let him die. Yet, against all logic, she hides him and nurses his wounds in secret. Every day, the tension between them grows: between mistrust, hatred, and a strange attraction she refuses to admit. But as she begins to see the man behind the uniform, their secret is revealed. The American soldiers find Sam... and capture Zuleyha. Torn from her world, she finds herself imprisoned in a military base, surrounded by enemies who suspect her of being a threat. She has no one left... except Sam. But in this camp, the man she saved is no longer a wounded man dependent on her. He's back among his own people, and he must make a choice: protect her or let her be treated like an enemy. In a world where everything opposes them, can they understand each other? And above all... can they love without betraying their own people?
