Maggie once believed her life was perfect—a career she loved and a man she'd die for. But tragedy changed everything.

She'd loved Daniel Gregorio since she was a girl tagging along after him and her brother. While Daniel joined the military right after high school, Maggie became a nurse and eventually landed her dream job with the World Health Center. Fate reunited them in Eastern Europe when Daniel's team rescued her aid station. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, and for a time, Maggie was blissfully happy.

But the man she loved carried wounds no one could see. Haunted by the horrors of his past, Daniel's battle with PTSD turned their once-loving home into an emotional warzone. Maggie tried to hold on, but as his anger spiraled out of control, Daniel walked away, leaving her to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart.

Now, it's just Maggie, her loyal dog Lightning, and the miles she runs to escape the emptiness. But when a flash flood sweeps her off course during an early morning run, Maggie realizes she isn't ready to give up—not on herself or Daniel.

Their love was strong enough to survive the past. Can it overcome the darkness between them and find its way back to the light?
