An Afghanistan war veteran finds love that costs him his job and could cost him his life.
Civilian life is weird. After returning from war in Afghanistan, twenty-six-year-old Caleb Sinclair gets a job as a bouncer in an Arizona sports club. But, when he defends gorgeous bartender Ashley from a drunk customer, he again finds himself unemployed. Not long after, Caleb encounters a strange old man who wants to hire him to find and meet the deepest needs of seven strangers. Caleb needs the money if he's going to move forward with Ashley, so he agrees.
The unusual request of his new boss gives him the perfect excuse to travel the country, tracking down the people on the old man's list. But Caleb soon learns that the drunk from the bar is actually a mafia don. To make matters worse, there's a hit out on Caleb. Now, he must protect Ashley, complete his assignments, and stay alive while learning to forgive himself for the past and give himself over to the future.
For twenty-six-year-old Caleb Sinclair, adjusting to civilian life is tough. After three combat tours, Caleb suffers from PTSD and a recurring dream that leads to panic attacks. He finally gets a job as a bouncer at a sports club in the Arizona desert. But after he rescues the bartender, a green-eyed, auburn-haired beauty, from a menacing drunk, their relationship soon becomes romantic. Discovering romance after war should be the highlight of his year. Instead, it puts him in the mafia's crosshairs and sets him on a collision course with an old man who has a plan that could change Caleb's life forever.
Buck Dopp's new crime novel featuring war veteran Caleb Sinclair is a heart-stopping suspenseful blend of love and crime. Second Wind follows one man's cross-country adventures as an Army vet learns to start over, risks falling in love, and finds forgiveness.
