Vann Noble did his duty. He served his country and returned a shell of a man, wounded inside and out. With a missing limb and battling PTSD, he seeks healing in an isolated cabin outside a small Texas town with a stray dog that sees beyond his master’s scars. If only the white rune’s magic can bring a happily ever after to a man as broken as Vann.


On the run from hired killers and struggling to make sense of her unexplained deadly mission, Nakina Bird seeks refuge in Vann’s cabin. She has secrets. Secrets that can get them all killed.


A ticking clock and long odds of living or dying, create jarring risks.


Will these two not only survive, but find an unexpected love along the way? Or, will evil forces win and destroy them both?


Excerpt


He had a plan, and it all depended on finding everything he’d need.


Between the rain and traffic, it took him over half an hour to reach his destination. Another half hour to make his purchases brought him an hour closer to the arranged call. He had to make it back to Nakina in time.


He emerged from the store’s dressing room looking every bit the part of a soldier. Desert tactical pants, shirt, camouflage rainproof overcoat, boonie hat, and combat boots were exactly what he had planned to find. He tucked his hair under the hat. Now he was prepared for battle.


The store clerk raised his eyebrows. “Recon mission, soldier?”


“Something like that.” Vann paid for his purchases, which included a Dallas city map.


Following the map, he drove toward the first Vertoe location on his list.


On impulse, as he passed a gun shop he made a quick turn into the parking lot. Might as well stock up.


By the time he reached the Vertoe location, an hour and a half had passed. Time was of the essence.


He strode into the facility with confidence, key in hand. He’d ditched the skull keyring. Row after row of lockers covered an area the size of a football field. How on earth would he find the right one?


Instinct told him to start at the back. Something that valuable wouldn’t be placed near the entrance where it would be more easily accessible. No, it would be as far away as possible. Inserting the key into first one lock and then another, he kept an eye on the entrance. Thank goodness there were no windows.


No luck on the first row.


Using the same strategy, he moved to the back of the second row.


Two men entered through the front door, and he ducked behind the third row of lockers and waited.


They opened a locker, removed their belongings, and left.


He breathed a sigh of relief.


Halfway down the third row, he hit pay dirt. His heart pounded as the metal door swung open. Inside lay a small package about the size of book.


“I guess it’s true that big things come in small packages,” he muttered. He stuffed it into a pocket and sprinted back to the car. That’s when he noticed a black SUV parked near the end.


“You assholes weren’t expecting a soldier.” He chuckled.


That was almost too easy.


He put the car in reverse and sped toward the motel and the trouble that lay ahead.
