“I know all about damage, Sunshine. Nothing can scare me away. Not even your fears.”

First Touch

Thea Wolfe dreams of a fairytale life. From the outside, she has the perfect career as a Children’s Librarian in the small town of New Hope and always has a smile on her face. She doesn’t let anyone see how the darkest event of her past holds her back every single day.

Jesse Callahan is ex-Special Forces and undercover for the Army Criminal Investigations Unit. His job is to lay low and make nice with the AWOL soldier who led him to New Hope and the group of extremists hell-bent on sticking it to the government. While integrating into their circle, he spots a beautiful woman and is immediately drawn to her.

When fate intervenes, Thea’s side gig at the local bar gets her closer to her unattainable crush than she’d ever imagined. Unfortunately, she wants to get to know the green-eyed man who keeps showing up in her life just as much as she wants him to stay away.

Jesse realizes quickly that this radiant woman is someone he wants to know outside of his undercover persona, but he would be risking his career by telling her the truth. The army is all he has left after experiencing so much loss in his life, but not taking a chance on her would destroy him.

Despite his duty, he doesn’t stay away and learns that their lives are far more intertwined than they realized.
