Where we ended
Daphne Luxe has survived bullets, betrayal, and the kind of love that leaves scars.
When her life is torn apart by a violent enemy tied to her family's past, she's forced into hiding with the only people she trusts-her brothers, their wives, and the men who once swore to protect her.
Samuel Garrison was one of them. A soldier. A protector. The man she once thought was her future-until his silence nearly destroyed her.
Then came Robert Blake. Rough-edged, steady-handed, a man with ghosts of his own. He saw through her defenses, challenged her to fight back, and made her believe in something she'd long forgotten: safety.
But when danger resurfaces and her choices could cost everyone she loves, Daphne must decide how far she'll go to protect them-even if it means sacrificing herself.
From the ashes of war to the quiet hum of a cabin in the woods, Daphne's story is one of resilience, rediscovery, and the kind of love worth fighting for... twice.
