Ace

Book two of the Ironclad Series- don't have to read it in order but some parts may make more sense with character development

Ace has spent years keeping his heart locked down, always finding happiness in solitude. He's good at what he does, and he leads the ironclad security team with tight orders. It's how he has kept them all safe and alive for years.

Toni is a single mom. Solitude isn't in her vocabulary when she has a preteen son who doubles as her best friend. She has survived the worst of her past, or so she thought. Everything she has done has always been to protect her son.

Ace knew from the moment he saw her that there was something there. Something that this feisty funny women does to him.

Both of them have a lifetime of walls built up, and neither of them have a habit of letting people in.
But when the past she thought she had run from comes back to bite, can she face the truth? Can she let herself believe that maybe she can love and trust someone else?

Some battles break you
Some battles save you
And some battles lead you to a future you never dared to dream.
