Byron endured the harsh realities of the foster care system, but he joined the Army to forge a new path, eventually becoming part of an elite unit alongside the Blackhawk brothers. However, the scars of abandonment ran deep, and when his ex-wife's infidelity shattered what little trust he had, Byron vowed to keep his heart guarded.
Until he meets her.

Byron is the second book in the Blackhawk Security series. After reading the first book, Liam, I dove into this book and was not disappointed at all. The story is about Oakley and Byron. She is co-owner of the local bookstore with Sierra and they have worked hard to make it successful. He has gotten out of the Army and is now part of the Blackhawk Security company. Byron is closed off after being scarred emotionally from growing up in foster care and then also a betrayal by his ex. Oakley is a sweetheart where Byron is hard edges...but boy is that man "sex on a stick" licking good. Together they find a way to come together, with a lot of naughty sparks flying off the pages.
Byron and Oakley share similar upbringings coming from the foster system including abandonment issues. When they are set up on a date sparks ignite leading to new possibilities for the two. Can two broken individuals with abandonment issues mend their broken hearts and get their second chance for happiness. This heartfelt story is well written with inspiring characters that draws you in and had me connecting with them.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Neither Byron and Oakley were looking for love but with a nudge by their friends, they find it with each other. I'm glad Byron was able to help Oakley with her issue.
