ENIGMA: Butterflies and Bullets

by Laura Acton

Can butterflies heal the scars left by bullets?Haunted by ghosts of his past, Dan Broderick is learning that survival and living aren’t the same thing. Recovering from injuries, his vision uncertain and his future on hold, Dan struggles to rebuild his place in the world—and within himself.

However, healing requires more than physical strength. It means coming to terms with the guilt he’s carried for years, confronting memories that claw at him in the dark, and finding the courage to seek grace in the moments between chaos.

With Lexa’s unwavering love and Loki's fierce loyalty, Dan begins to rediscover the beauty hidden amid his battle scars. Yet danger never strays far from a man like him. When old wounds and new threats collide, Dan must find a way to hold both truths at once ... bullets shaped him into a protector, and butterflies represent the reason he keeps fighting.
