OUTLIER: Blood, Brotherhood, and Beauty

by Laura Acton

Dan Broderick’s world filled with Brody’s promise of beauty after learning his parents, family, and unit brothers had not forsaken him. He made a new life with Alpha Team, and the icing on the cake was Sexy Lexie wanted him! Life was great … until he crumpled to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

Lexa McKenna considers risking all she values for a man, but Dan isn’t just any man. Her heart and soul already know what her mind has yet to grasp. When Dan is laid low, Lexa fears she will never have the chance to discover if they have a future together.

Though General Broderick yearns for his son to address him in a familial manner, he accepts his actions ruined their father-son relationship. But when Daniel unexpectedly calls him Dad, hope surges, only to be plunged into a nightmare as blood blossoms on Daniel’s chest.

Can Dan’s restored family save him and heal nineteen-year-old wounds, or will a vendetta hatched three decades ago take him from them again?
