Andrew Hollister knew the wounds that make a person the most vulnerable couldn’t be seen. That last mission punched his ticket home. He’d survived when most of his team hadn’t.
The physical damage had mended. The mental injuries hadn’t healed as easily. Hell, they hadn’t healed at all.
Once burned, twice shy.
Genevieve Wheeler’s past was littered with betrayal by those closest to her and she’d sworn she’d never let anyone hurt her again. Her life was full of family, friends, and her flourishing business. The last thing she was looking for was a relationship with a broken, sexy, ranch hand.
Without the past, there is no future.
Just as life handed him a beautiful, vivacious reason to move forward, death came knocking once again. Facing his past was no longer something Andrew could avoid, and with Genevieve at his side, confronting the ghosts that haunted him was a battle he needed to win.

About the author

Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author, Kris Michaels is the alter ego of a happily married wife and mother. She writes romance, usually with characters from military and law enforcement backgrounds.
Kris was born and raised in South Dakota. She graduated many years ago from a high school class consisting of 13 students (yes that is thirteen, eleven girls, and two boys...lucky boys). She joined the military, met her husband, and traveled the world. Today she lives on the Gulf Coast and writes full time.
Kris is an avid people watcher and dreamer. The stories she writes are crafted around the hopes and dreams of a true romantic. She believes love is essential, people are beautiful, and everyone deserves a happy ending.
When she isn't writing Kris enjoys a full life revolving around family, friends, laughing, whiskey, and cold red wine. (Yes cold...don't judge.)

This story is about Andrew, the recluse, and how Gen brings love and light to his life again. She saves him in many ways. He also in turn protects her from a man from her past who wants her back.
This story was full of fun, laughter, and some tears as the serious topic of suicide is brought up. Ms. Michaels did a wonderful job with this story. I definitely want to read more about the wonderfully quirky townsfolk of Hollister South Dakota. Who knows maybe even "Senior" will get his HEA.
Andrew Hollister has been hiding from life ever since he left the Marines after losing most of his unit and being medically discharged. Meeting and getting to know Gen Wheeler may be a saving grace for Drew. She's forthright, friendly, welcoming and sunny. Everything he's not but needs in his life. Falling for all of the six feet, seven glorious inches of Drew Hollister is no hardship. Convincing him that he won't harm her may not be easy but she's up for the task.
Though this book deals with some preety harsh topics (PTSD and suicide), Kris Michaels handles them beautifully. I love that she may give her heroes some issues (physical or mental) but she always gives them help in one form or another. In this case, Andrew gets Gen and her brother. It's a fantastic story, but I will admit that I only read it hoping for Guardian cameos though as I read I quickly forgot about the cameos I was hoping for. Andrew's journey is not an easy one but Hollister is behind him and love always eases the way.
Grab any Kris Michaels' book and be prepared - once you read one, you'll be hooked.
Oh my. This is one great hero, and one great story.
Delicate subjects are dealt with in a straight forward and an insightful manner.
This is a story of a journey into and out of the darkest hell no one should ever see.
Heart wrenching, but leaves you with the firm belief that love can heal the worst wounds.
Without a doubt, this book should be on every ones must read list.
Top reviews from other countries

There is a potential trigger relating to suicide but it's lightly written.
The characterisation is absolutely flawless, I've wanted Andrew's story ever since meeting him several books back when Remi moved to Hollister. The book does not disappoint!
Kris Michaels has perfected the art of making a character come to life, and each new character brings their own motivators that fuel a vibrant personality. No one could ever accuse the author of writing one dimensional characters, no matter how many books she writes.
Andrew is physically and emotionally scarred, with a bitter home life that leaves him unable to move forward. Until he meets Remi's sister, Genevive.
Gen has been in several books and her character has been a source of perpetual light, just what Andrew needs.
I found myself in the pleasant position of liking both characters immensely.
The plotline is engaging, following life events, including and little danger, and the growing love between them.
There is a little swearing and some sex scenes.
I can't recommend the author highly enough, but to obtain a full understanding of the book and all of the supporting characters it's best to read the Guardian series first, although this particular book could be read as a standalone.
Looking forward to more stories from the little town of Hollister.
However, could I beg the author for Sage's story please? I've missed him since he vanished back into the darkness he came from!

Gen came to Hollister for a new start, Andrew came back to lose himself in the family business after the nightmare of war. Both of them have been hurt by past relationships. Separately they are just surviving. Together they can find reason to live and get better.
Like the declaimer says there are some very dark themes in this book and difficult subjects. PTSD and suicide among them.
The book is a great setup for the little town of Hollister. There seem yo be interesting times ahead, a number of great characters znd matches to be made. Two in particular I am hoping for. One seems to be set for the next book in the series.



An intriguing start to the Hollister series this does have ties to the Guardian series but it is a standalone, you don't need to have read the Guardian series first...although it may add to your enjoyment if you have!
