Broken Chains

Captain Alexandra "Alex" Pierce clawed her way back from the ambush that killed half her unit and shattered her engagement to the man she loved-Special Forces operative Logan Cross, who vanished into black ops and never looked back. Two years later, Alex has rebuilt herself into something unbreakable: a commander known for her steady warmth under fire and fierce loyalty to her soldiers. But when she's assigned to a remote Forward Operating Base in hostile mountain territory, she finds Logan already there-harder, darker, and carrying wounds no medal can honor. He's now under her command. He's also the one man who can still make her walls crumble with a single look.

Logan survived the war, but guilt over leaving Alex behind has hollowed him into a ghost wearing a soldier's skin. He told himself walking away would keep her safe. Now, trapped together in close quarters with insurgent activity escalating, he can't stop watching her, protecting her-wanting her. When intelligence reveals a traitor within the FOB is feeding information to the enemy and Alex becomes the target, Logan faces an impossible choice: maintain the distance that keeps her career intact, or break every fraternization rule to save the woman he never stopped loving. But in a place where trust is lethal and one wrong move means body bags, falling back into each other's arms might be the most dangerous mission either of them has ever faced-because this time, losing isn't just about heartbreak. It's about survival.

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.
