After decades of bloodshed on the battlefield, renowned war hero Ruth Vernard—feared as both the Grim Reaper and the Guardian Angel—retires to the city of his youth, seeking a peaceful life away from war and politics. Living quietly, he watches the world move on, content to remain unnoticed.
One evening, a group of petty thugs attempts to rob him. Amused, Ruth humors them, ready to end the charade at any moment. But before he can act, a fiery young woman storms into the alley, fearlessly defending him. She’s Melina Lynden, the daughter of a wealthy family, stunningly beautiful and full of righteous anger. Though her efforts are unnecessary, her courage and kindness strike something deep within Ruth's hardened heart.
For the first time in his life, the strongest man alive feels something more terrifying than war—love.
Drawn to Melina, Ruth embarks on a journey unlike any before. But his past refuses to stay buried. Old enemies, hidden threats, and his own struggles with vulnerability stand in his way. Can a man forged in war truly embrace love? Or will fate tear them apart before their story even begins?
In a world where strength has always been his shield, Ruth must now learn that the bravest battles are fought with the heart.
