Deliverance (The Maverick Defense Series #1

Joy Mathers has spent the last three years numb. She was supposed to escape the deadbeat town of Chancing, but now it’s her prison, and she couldn’t leave…even if she wanted to. For the last two years, Dawson Spencer has been holed up in some of the worst corners of the world. He thought nothing could ever shock him. Until he returns to Chancing and discovers everything has changed in the town he once called home. Joy isn't Dawson's anymore, and it would be better—safer—for everyone if he walked away. But walking away isn’t an option for Dawson, not this time.
