Maddie's life changed forever when war swept through her world. She survived, but the conflict took almost everything from her. Now it threatens to claim the one person she cannot lose: Ryder Delaney. He was her best friend, the bad boy who could fight better than anyone and loved her completely. He became the father of her child. One summer day, Maddie watched Ryder walk away, and she has been waiting for his return ever since. She needs him like she needs air and water. Without him, she feels lost, incomplete. The war wants to take her heart, her soul, and Ryder himself. But Maddie believes in the power of love. She holds onto hope that the light will call him home to her.
