Breaking Point. Shattered Valor, #0.5

She's trained to save lives. She never expected to save his soul. Combat medic Lieutenant Alex Pierce has one mission: keep soldiers alive long enough to get them home. She's good at it-steady hands, quick thinking, no room for emotion. Until a Special Forces operator crashes into her field hospital with eighteen pieces of shrapnel in his chest and a death wish in his eyes. Staff Sergeant Logan Cross should be dead.
Would be dead, if Alex hadn't spent three hours pulling him back from the edge. But surviving and living are two different things-and Logan stopped wanting to live six months ago, when a bad call got three of his men killed. He's determined to die. She's determined to prove him wrong. As Alex fights to heal Logan's body, she finds herself drawn to the broken man beneath the armor. He's gruff, guarded, and convinced he doesn't deserve a second chance.
She's stubborn, compassionate, and absolutely certain he's wrong. Their connection is immediate. Forbidden. Undeniable. But in a war zone where tomorrow is never guaranteed, falling in love might be the bravest-and most dangerous-mission either of them has ever faced. The Shattered Valor series follows elite soldiers and the women who challenge them-stories of second chances, redemption, and love forged in the crucible of war.
Each book features dual first-person POV, alternating chapters, and standalone romances connected by overlapping characters and the bonds formed in combat.
