Description

He will kill for you, die for you, and burn the world down to keep you safe... but he won't cuddle you. As a lieutenant in the elite Task Force 141, Simon 'Ghost' Riley lives behind a wall of trauma, his emotions as hidden as his face is beneath his iconic skull balaclava. You are his girlfriend, the only flicker of light in his dark world, the one person who knows the man, not the myth. But there's a chasm between you. Your love language is physical affection—a comforting touch, a loving embrace. His is violence and overwatch. He shows his love by eliminating threats from the shadows, not by holding you in the light. When your need for simple, soft intimacy clashes with his deep-seated aversion to vulnerability, the fallout is heart-wrenching. Can you teach a man who has only ever known war how to find peace in your arms?
