About

Zuri Ionadi believes in freedom, compassion, and every person's right to equal, fair treatment under the law, all of which are sorely lacking after the government and military are hijacked by Middercian's power hungry leaders. She is among the minority Coalitionists who are fighting to wrest her country back from tyranny, but her hope is tested daily as their numbers dwindle. What they need is a miracle. What they get is a fallen war hero imprisoned for a senseless mass murder who refuses to join their cause.Captain Kane is a career military highly decorated soldier with a secret he vows to take to his grave. Even after Zuri bought his freedom, his infamous past and constant fear of harming others imprison him as securely as the steel box in which he spent the last three years. During his court-martial, the media sealed his fate by making him one of the most recognizable figures in military history; while he can conceal his face, nothing can hide his imposing stature. When Zuri and her team show up to aid the large refugee camp that formed adjacent to his forest sanctuary, he knows it is only a matter of time before he is discovered.Although Zuri is aware a wartime relationship with a convicted military criminal is doomed from the start, she cannot deny her physical attraction to the man when she sees him again. And as they join forces to keep the refugees safe, she comes to recognize the compassionate, yet tortured, soul residing within.Kane fights to resist his growing feelings for Zuri. He has no future and refuses to destroy hers. And as the war rages, threatening not only Middercia's very existence, but that of the people he has helped and protected, he is prepared to give his life on a one-man mission to save their democracy.An alternate-world military action romance. This is book #1 in my "Larger Than Life Heroes" collection. Book #2 coming soon.
