Finding a new path can be difficult when the darkness threatens to swallow you.

When Jackson Vane and his three best friends joined the U.S. Marines after high school, he had big dreams. Not only did the service take him far away from his father and the city he refused to call home, it also gave him endless opportunities to see the world. But he never dreamed that eight years would be all he'd get. Now, he's being shipped back to Richmond, Virginia with nothing to his name but shattered dreams, a useless medal, two broken legs, and a devastated heart. While his injuries hold him captive in his childhood home, Jackson has a new war to fight. He must come to terms with survivor's guilt, figure out who he is, and most daunting of all, learn how to heal.

Avery Mason has burned for Jackson for most of her life. Now that he's back to stay and needs her help, the time is right to claim what she's always wanted. Twenty years was an excruciatingly long time to wait for her dreams to come true.

Jackson's story continues in A JOURNEY TO LOVE (book 2) and concludes in A JOURNEY HOME (book 3). Must be read in order for the full story and HEA. The Journey Series is best read in order, starting with the prequel novella, A JOURNEY WORTH TAKING.

***
The JOURNEY SERIES as a whole is a closed-door, heartwarming contemporary romance about a veteran rising out of darkness after losing almost everything he holds dear. The journey is hard. There will be hardships, pain, heartbreak, and raw emotions (content warning: some coarse language, casual drinking, suicide of a loved one (off page), sick parent, loss of a parent, PTSD, loss/grief, rape (off page), verbal abuse, and violence). Nothing is graphic, and there is plenty of inspiration, hope, sweetness, perseverance, friendships, unbreakable bonds, and unconditional love to overcome it all for a sweet, inspirational, and heartfelt story.
