Alone in the world, John Hansen joined the British Army to be a part of something bigger than himself, and do some good in the world as a UN peacekeeper. He did not expect to meet the love of his life during officers' training.

Kevin Kendrick had something to prove to himself and his career-officer father. He had never met anyone who meant as much to him as John, but he had doubts about his lover's career decisions... and he was driven to join the SAS because it was the one military achievement his father had tried for and failed.

Torn apart by their ambitions, they find themselves together years later--and what feels like centuries more battered. Both are eager to seize their second chance at happiness, but Kevin's past isn't through with him yet, and they must face an enemy from his past to win back their future.
