A mission gone sideways. My world turned upside down on a dime. Held prisoner in the dark tunnels below ground, cut off from the world, I was hanging onto life by a thread. Wanting to end my suffering, but afraid to let go.

I'm a forty-year-old homeowner and former detective. My friends think a roommate is the solution to my recent funk, but I know that's the last thing I need.

After giving twelve years of my life to the service, I didn't just lose my leg. I lost everything, including my career.

To me, however, he was always the annoying kid tagging along. Now he's all grown-up and delightfully bossy—and sexy—as he encourages me to reclaim my health.

You know, the one who skated out of my life without looking back.

I've watched from the sidelines as my friends found themselves bound to the same agathos. I've stood aside and wondered if she was mine. I've watched, I've waited, I've hurt. And I've wondered.
