Publisher Description
From New York Times & USAToday bestselling author, Nicole Williams:
When he left for a twelve-month deployment, she knew it would feel like forever before they saw each other again. She didn’t realize how right she was.
When Lance Corporal Brecken Connolly gets taken as a POW, Camryn hopes for the best but steels herself for the worst. In the end, steel was what she needed to survive when he didn’t. She moves on the only way she knows how—gilding herself in more steel.
Years go by.
She builds a new life.
She leaves the old one behind.
Until one day, she sees the face of a ghost on the news. Brecken seems to have risen from the dead, but she knows she can’t perform the same miracle for herself. While Brecken was held in a torture camp for the past five years, she’s been trapped in her own kind of prison. One she can’t be freed from.
The man she mourned comes back to join the living, but the girl he wanted to spend his life with isn’t the same woman he comes back for. Brecken isn’t the same person either. The past five years have changed them both. While he’s determined to put the pieces back together, she’s resolved to let hers rot where they shattered.
Broken or not, Brecken wants her back. He’ll do anything to achieve that. Even if it means going against the warden of Camryn’s personal prison—her husband.

Customer Reviews
Highly emotional
God how I loved Brecken he was one tortured soul, but he never gave up.
Camryn is left reeling when Brecken returns home after six years of believing he was dead, but now he's back after he was held captive and all the emotions of dealing with what's happened, in that time, and now the man she will always love is moving next door, is a new torture for both Camryn and Brecken.
Nothing is easy and believe me reading the story was hard at times, but both Camryn and Brecken captured my heart and I felt for both them, but Brecken reminds Camryn he's true to his promise even after everything that's happened and will do anything for her until the end.
This read does contain themes some might find difficult, but it's a highly charged emotional and powerful read, that so no matter how tortured people may be, true love is never forgotten.
