Don't let the bad boys tell you what to do! Anna Walter-Simmons, a student at a vocational college, and Rafe Luis Brown, a soldier who just made it back from Syria, both have had quite their share of turmoil in life. Having had her trust broken before and her heart shattered, Anna makes a conscious decision never again to fall for the first man who knocks at her door. Then comes Rafe, a pale shadow of the soldier he once was, broken from his experiences in Syria. The two are immediately drawn to each other's dark pasts while still trying to find their place in such a cruel world. As the story develops, so does the bond between, but so do the forces that try to break them and drag them to the lowest pits of despair. Whether they make it together depends on whether they can face their deepest of fears, but will they ever be able to trust anyone after such horrid ordeals? Only time and their strength of love will tell...
