   Summary

   Dr. Ryland Grace, scientist turned middle school teacher, should have everything a man needs to be happy. A job he loves, work friends, a nice apartment, his pet cat. His students worship him, his coworkers love him, and his bosses...well, they'll come around...right? But at the end of the day, Grace feels empty inside. His life feels dull. His heart yearns for something more, something he doesn't know how to put into words.

   When discharged CPO Navy SEAL Simon Attwood was finally released from the hospital, he came back to nothing. His mother long gone, no friends to speak of, no home, no hope. Only unanswered prayers, empty promises from the country he served, a broken body, and a mind slowly crumbling.

   That is, until Ryland and Simon's paths cross. A messy meeting could lead to just the remedy both men are looking for...if they can figure out how to connect first.
