Ash & Absolution: A Grumpy Protector Survival Military Romance

By: Wolfe, Derek

In the heart of the jungle, the only thing more dangerous than the men hunting us is the man sworn to protect me.

HER: I went to the mountains to save lives, not to become a target. Now I'm lost in a war zone with a silent, lethal soldier who looks at me like I'm his greatest mistake-and his only salvation. I swore I'd never trust a man with a gun again, but in this green hell, he's the only thing keeping me alive.

HIM: My orders were simple: extract the doctor and leave. I didn't count on the fire in her eyes or the way her touch would shatter my icy walls. I've survived a dozen black-ops missions, but keeping her safe while resisting the urge to claim her? That might be the thing that finally breaks me.

THEM: Trapped behind enemy lines with no backup, the heat between us is more lethal than the bullets. As the shadows close in, I have to decide if I can trust the man who handles a rifle like an extension of his soul. In the ashes of our survival, will our secrets destroy us, or is absolution found in the arms of the protector I never saw coming?

Can they survive the trek out of the wilderness, or will the secrets they're keeping be the end of them both?
