Cade Thatcher is on his way to a mountain retreat when he picks up a hitchhiker. Skittish and withdrawn, River Robertson is obviously running from something. Cade is supposed to be rehabilitating from injuries he endured in Afghanistan, not taking on new duties. But he feels responsible for River and his instinct to protect her overrides his fears about what he can do with his shattered body. When the cult leader obsessed with River tracks her down, Cade will push himself to the limits to keep her safe.

Psychologist Sarah Peterson is proud of her work with traumatised veterans. She knows how to handle PTSD — even when it's her own. Her boss, Lawson Davies, isn't so sure. The former CIA operative wants her to take some time off. His insistence that she get away only intensifies when a crime boss who's trafficking women threatens revenge on everyone at Warrior Peak Sanctuary. Are Lawson's motives purely professional, or is his desire to keep Sarah out of harm's way motivated by the irresistible connection they share?
