Beyond Valor - Paperback

He's a war hero. She's the vulnerability he never saw coming. Just days before Christmas, law student Ivy Ashford's nineteen-year-old sister vanishes without a trace. The police are convinced it's murder, but Ivy refuses to give up hope. Enter Cody Everson, a battle-hardened investigator who wants a quiet holiday, not another case. Yet Ivy's determination pulls him into a search as relentless as the nor'easter closing in on them. Forced into a fragile partnership that quickly sparks into something more, they uncover the hidden truths of Willow's life-and, in the process, confront the scars of their own pasts that make trusting each other so hard. In a storm of lies, danger, and undeniable chemistry, can they find Willow before it's too late? Or will the truth-and their own wounds-tear them apart?
