Scars of Trust by Susie McIver

He was sent to save her.
She refuses to be saved.
Russ Duncan doesn’t hesitate.
Not in combat. Not under fire. Not when lives are on the line.
But Dr. Olivia Taylor isn’t like anyone he’s ever been ordered to extract.
In the middle of a war zone, she’s risking everything to protect the children no one else will fight for—and she has no intention of leaving them behind… even if it gets her killed.
Too bad Russ isn’t giving her a choice.
Now trapped behind enemy lines with bullets flying and enemies closing in, Russ and Olivia are forced into a fight neither of them can control.
Because the closer danger gets…
the harder it is to ignore the heat between them.
And in a place where trust can mean the difference between life and death—
Falling for her might be the most dangerous mission of all.

She fights him. He fights for her.
And neither of them is ready for what happens next.
