My name is Soldier, but I was never meant to be a hero. From the moment I was born, I was looked at as a beacon of hope, a guiding light—a savior. That type of pressure can drive a man to desperation, to do things he shouldn’t, and in my case, that’s exactly what happened. All I ever wanted to be was a good person, someone my grandparents could be proud of, but for a long time, I couldn’t find the strength to be proud of myself. I paid the price. I did my time. Yet... somehow, I got lucky. I was given a second chance to do better and to be the man I always believed I could be. After finding the love I never knew I deserved, I’m starting to wonder if there’s still room for me to be a hero after all... From the author of Warrior Blue comes an emotional, gritty story about redemption, love, and an antihero desperate to achieve his lifelong dream—to be a good man. _Contains a bonus epilogue. _
