But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war veteran reenter society isnt about charityits about penance. Only, Olivias client isnt the grateful elderly man shes expecting. Instead, hes a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivias path to redemption . . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.
