Silver Shadows

When former Navy SEAL medic Stone Lawson moved to Silver Springs, Texas, to start a security company with his four best friends and former teammates, falling in love was never part of the plan. Especially not with Mae Morgan-the sharp, spirited secretary at Montgomery Defense-who also happens to be his best friend's little sister.

After nearly two years of keeping their relationship secret from her brother, Mae is ready to take the next step. But just as their love reaches its strongest point, shadows from Stone's past begin to take root in his mind. Haunted by ghosts he thought were long dead and buried, and convinced he's protecting Mae from himself, he pushes her away.

Then one morning, in the heart of town, under the wide Texas sky, Stone is shot and left for dead-his blood staining the streets of Silver Springs as his secrets bleed out with it.

When Stone wakes, he doesn't remember breaking Mae's heart, or the deadly threats that forced him to do it. With his memories trapped in the fog of trauma, Mae becomes his anchor. Staying by his side means reopening old wounds-but walking away could mean losing him forever.

Yet love doesn't come without scars. As Mae grieves a loss that steals her hope, Stone aches to comfort her while trying to understand why she keeps turning away. He doesn't remember the pain he caused, and she can't forget it. When his love becomes one more reminder of everything they've lost, the bond between them begins to fracture.

Heartbreak cuts deeper than any bullet, and when the truth finally comes to light, Stone will have to fight harder than ever-not just for her safety, but for her forgiveness.

Because this time, it's not just his life on the line¿ It's the only woman he's ever loved-and the future he nearly destroyed.
