Twenty-one year-old Sabrina Woods never planned on joining the military-but after barely surviving an abusive relationship, it was the only way out that made sense. She signs her name, leaves everything behind, and steps into a new life she hopes will make her feel whole again.
She doesn't expect to find comfort in Riley, a fiercely loyal military working dog, or to reconnect with Caden Miller, her childhood friend whose quiet strength and steady presence begin to break down the walls she's built. Just as Sabrina starts to believe in something like peace, deployment changes everything.
In the chaos of war, a bond forms with an airman who sees her in ways no one else has-and Sabrina finds herself torn between the past she knew and the future she never imagined. But when her unit is ambushed and she's taken prisoner, nothing matters except survival.
Now, held captive behind enemy lines, Sabrina must summon every ounce of fight she has left-and decide if love, hope, and the girl she used to be are still worth coming back for.
