Cut off from his family and desperate to disappear, he finds unexpected compassion from the people there—especially Dr Marcus Stirling, a co‑founder battling his own past and hard‑won sobriety. A fragile connection between them slowly deepens into something neither expected, but love becomes a risk as guilt, grief, and old ghosts resurface. This is a story about a broken soldier, a recovering addict, and the healing bond that might save them both. This story was overflowing with emotion, and I felt every step of both men’s journeys—one fighting to recover, the other fighting to stay steady in his own hard‑won sobriety. What I loved most was how human the book made them. Their pain, their setbacks, and their slow, fragile progress were never diminished or glossed over. Instead, their lives and struggles were treated with real weight and compassion. The book also shines a light on how poorly we often treat our veterans, and Tyler’s experience reflects that heartbreakingly well. In contrast, Guardian Hall felt like a sanctuary—full of care, hope, and understanding. A place where broken pieces weren’t judged, just gently gathered. A moving, heartfelt read that balances hurt, healing, and humanity beautifully. You might cry reading this story - I certainly did. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0F4RV8WFP".
