Book 3 of Team 'Io
Buck & Marikit
Heath "Buck" Derringer has lived a long life, but he never thought that a transport flight would be the end of it.
When the Osprey his Raider Team was flying in crashed into Kaneohe Bay, he didn't see his life flashing before his eyes.
The only thought crossing through his mind was that there was no one at home who would mourn him. His life had been focused on his work. Serving his country. That was enough.
He thought it always would be.
Until he nearly died in a plane crash.
And now, he's shaken.
Marikit DeLima is a grief therapist. She's devoted her life to helping other people find peace in the darkest parts of their lives.
The same thing she's been seeking for herself but hasn't been able to find.
Visiting the hospital with one of her therapy dogs, she comes into contact with a man whose eyes have seen the same kind of death that she has. He asks for her help, but for once, she's not sure that she can help a man as deep in the darkness as she is. Besides, she's already turned in her resignation papers. She feels like a sham.
She tells him she can't see him as a patient. He tells her he's good with that, but he wants to see her regardless.
They embark on a relationship based more on desperation than hope, but they feel strangely... alive again.
They'll either drown in the darkness together or reach the light.
Genre: Romance
