"When the light does dark, and I fall apart, would you wait for me? When it hurts like Hell, and I lose myself, would you wait for me?"
He'd asked her to wait. And so she waited. For years, long, painful years, she waited. Finally, by a twist of fate, they were reunited. But it wasn't the reunion they had hoped for.
He was different now...quiet, distant...not himself. What had he seen? What had happened that would drive them apart? She allowed herself to seek out love in other's arms...but they could never fill her heart like he had.
It took everything she had to stand beside him and help him with all of the struggles...he was awakening her own past, bringing back memories she had tried for so long to suppress. This wasn't the man she loved...or was it?
Standing tall and fighting for a love she once knew, Maria must fight against all odds to reawaken the feelings of love he once held for her, and help him fight against his inner demons while she battles her own. It's a struggle against the light and the dark, against mental battles and painful struggles to prove love can withstand anything...even when it hurts like Hell.

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.

War Of The Heart | Warfare (Ver Eng.)
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?Complete
WHERE THE STORM ENDS
Love wasn't supposed to feel like a battlefield-until they met. She was sunlight-bright, hopeful, and full of life. Raised in warmth, with a heart that believed in goodness even when she didn't believe in love itself. He was thunder-scarred by a broken past, guarded, and convinced that love was never meant for him. All he wanted was to be loved the way he had never been... but he didn't know how to let someone in without breaking everything around him. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-but so do tempers, insecurities, and buried pain. What begins as an unexpected connection turns into a love neither of them were ready for. Together, they face storms-fights, misunderstandings, distance, and the ghosts of their pasts. But when love is real, it doesn't run. It weathers the chaos. This is a story about two people who fall apart a hundred times... and choose to come back to each other a hundred and one. Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories are the ones that survive the storm.Complete

"I am one of them, baby and I will protect you with my life!" Was the sentence that made me fall down my knees and believe him, give him all I could give but it wasn't easy. I didn't choose this life. I don't want it but when I saw him I just thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be the one who'd take all the pain of my past away with a small kiss of his kissable lips. At least that was what I expected. Perhaps, the devil that pushed me in hell, got sick of me enjoying it there and he sent me someone that looks so angelic when he smiles to make me feel like I'm in heaven. But sadly, as soon as I leaned in to kiss his lips, I realized that just looking in his eyes, I'd feel in heaven but looking around and seeing all those demons, my demons, smirking at me, knowing they won because I let him in but he was just one of them when I thought he was different. At the end of the day, I was just a maid in his father's house but I didn't look at it that way when I fell for him and that was how I lost myself. -Read to know how she lost herself, who is the angle and the devil, how did her demons won when she was trying so hard to run away from them. Find out in INNOCENT. Enjoy :)Complete
Blind Promises
A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?Complete
