Historical Fiction

I was a 31-year-old mechanic with grease under my nails, waiting for a blind date who never showed. I sat at the wrong table by mistake, facing the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen—and the wheelchair she was in. We clicked instantly.

He never imagined we would be the ones to teach him what strength really looks like.

Part 1 The candlelight at The Avenel was designed to make people look good. It was failing me. It was the kind of restaurant where the waiters wore vests, and the water glasses were so thin you were afraid to hold them. At 31, I, Ryan Torres, owner of Torres Auto Repair, felt like I…

They buried my name with sixteen fallen soldiers, believing the dead could keep their secrets. But I’m the ghost who walked out of the grave. For three years, I waited, I watched, and I planned.
