At a remote mountaintop retreat, an optimistic triple amputee British Special Forces veteran meets a pessimistic American beauty in the valleys of their lives.

In his valley of determination…

Highly decorated for his heroism in fighting terrorism on behalf of his grateful nation, Keenan has sacrificed enough for his country. Yet, his enemies are going after him and his former team members as an act of personal vengeance. To protect his family, Keenan leads a trail away from Britain. Off the grid, he is incognito at a remote resort in the mountains of Tennessee. While waiting for his storm to pass, he meets an American girl who is hiding for a different reason in the same misty mountains.

In her valley of discouragement…

She finds solace in the Great Smoky Mountains, living in quiet regret at Mendenhall Retreat while holding down a job at the local funeral home. Along comes the new neighbor, encroaching into her personal space. Why is he so friendly toward her? So delightful to be with? So charming? So inquisitive…?

Danger tracks them on the mountaintop…

Keenan is the first person in a long time to make Phoebe consider the possibility of a new chapter in her love life. However, just when she begins to think about opening up her heart to him, the ex-soldier’s unfinished business pulls her into a situation she has never experienced before, and danger comes knocking…on the wrong door.
