I can still feel the sand under my nails. The blood on my skin.Parrish’s blood on my skin. It's been a year since my friends, Poe, Gin, and I returned home from overseas and left military service. A year of waiting to take our fallen friend's ashes to the ocean he loved more than anything else.But we can't do it alone. Not when every night is a circle jerk of nightmare fuel and none of us can even look at each other without breaking.I need her. The nurse who saved my life, my ex, the girl I thought I'd marry one day. But she hates me. I'm only hoping she can put our past aside long enough for one final mission.The Broken and Afraid is a why choose steamy road trip romance with ptsd reconciliation, sword crossing, and so much only one RV vibes.
