RELEASE BLAST : Little Light of Mine by Maddie Taylor

When her dark and painful secret becomes too heavy to bear, the only way Elena Lopez can deal with it is by running. Leaving her friends, family, and the love of her life behind, she sets out with the intention of starting over as far away from her demons as she can go. But the promise of a brand-new life is as empty and hollow as living with her grief and shame, and it isn’t long before her father’s declining health gives her a reason to come home.

Master Sergeant Dex Russell hasn’t been the same since leaving the Army, but it isn’t the horrors of war that haunt him. Losing Elena was a devastating blow, rendering him an empty shell of the once-good-natured, outgoing man he used to be. When Elena dares to return, the Rossi Security team decides it needs her help to further the ongoing cartel investigation, leaving Dex with no choice but to spend time with the woman whose love and devotion once filled him completely. Can their powerful physical attraction be a stepping stone to healing their broken hearts?

Before Dex can reclaim his little light and take her to task for the one-sided decisions that ripped them apart, the threat from Elena’s past must be fully dealt with. As danger closes in on Rossi Security and its inner circle, rebuilding trust isn’t the only battle this couple must fight to secure the second chance they both need.
