Leave Me Behind

K.M. Moronova

Book 1 of Dark Forces

Nell Gallows, the lone survivor of an elite dark-forces unit, is transferred to a rival special-ops squad that blames her team for a comrade's death. After a reckless one-night stand, she discovers the stranger she slept with is actually her new commanding officer, a scarred and merciless soldier known as Bones. Forced into close quarters on increasingly dangerous missions, the two must navigate mutual hostility, old grief, and a simmering attraction neither can outrun. It's a brutal, emotionally charged military romance about two damaged people learning to trust again amid violence and secrets.
