Giving Up the Ring

Rocco knew that survivor’s guilt was real. He had lost his entire platoon while on a 48-hour pass. He hated himself for staying behind, but since he had leave, he wasn’t required to go out with his platoon on their mission. Logically, he knew that if he had, he’d be dead like the rest of his brothers, but his brain wasn’t thinking that way anymore. Now he liked to blame himself for everything—including not being able to stop something that was impossible to keep from happening. Yeah, he blamed himself, and nothing and no one would be able to help him—until Luna came into his life.

Luna loved her job as an Army psychiatrist. The soldiers that she treated all had the same sad stories of loss and anger. After five years as a therapist, they were all starting to blend together—until Rocco walked into her office. He was broken. She could see that much in his eyes, but he kept coming back to her for help, and she couldn’t tell him no. She’d keep trying to fix him, even if that meant losing her job for becoming too personal with him—because she was. Getting Rocco to join the same gym as her might have been the wrong move, but she was desperate to help the soldier heal. And seeing him outside of office hours was a bonus. Luna didn’t want to find him attractive, but damn if he didn’t look good in his gym shorts. Yeah, she was in trouble, but fixing Rocco was her new project.
