Some loves are written in fate while others need to be fought for.

Love is supposed to heal, not haunt. But for Master Sergeant William Young, aka “The Ghost”, and Deputy Sheriff Sabina Goodwin, the past is never truly behind them. One gunshot. One fateful encounter. One chance at something real! In a world that’s always been ruthless to them both, love feels like the most dangerous battlefield of all. Yet, with their shadows creeping closer and duty pulling them apart, they’re left with impossible choices—ones that could cost them everything.

But love is fragile. And some hearts break before they can truly belong. When destiny brings them together, the battle isn’t just against the chaos of the world. Instead, it’s against their own fears, scars, and the ghosts of their pasts. Torn between duty and desire, between war zones and riots, their love is tested by distance, doubt, and danger. “My soul aches for you, and my spirit wanders aimlessly without you” William whispered, his fingers tracing the delicate curve of Sabina’s face. She had seen him battle through war zones, watched him break and rebuild himself time and time again, but here, in this moment, he was just a man—a man willing to risk everything for the woman in front of him. After the world kicked out your tenth and dumped them into the blackness of the abyss, what would make you stand up and fight through such misery? Only one thing would allow them to survive the unjust condition we call life.

She was in an environment plagued with civil unrest and domestic violence; her life was more than complicated. He was deployed to an area of the world known to be both unstable and unpredictable; he carried his demons and scars like trophies on his body. Fighting all enemies, foreign and domestic, the two lovers find that their greatest enemy is their self-doubt domestic and insecurities.
