Fractured & His (Black Steel Hearts #2)

He was broken in war. Falling in love was never part of the recovery plan.

Declan "Deck" Harlan has spent years keeping people at a distance.

A former military contractor turned small-town mechanic, he’s built his life around hard work, solitude, and the belief that some scars never truly heal. When a devastating garage explosion leaves him with severe injuries and uncertain use of his hands, the last thing he wants is help—especially from a doctor who’s far too beautiful, far too kind, and far too impossible to ignore.

Dr. Finn Ashford came to Willow Ridge for a fresh start.

As the town’s new rehabilitation physician, Finn is used to helping wounded people rebuild their lives. What he isn’t prepared for is Deck: a gruff, intimidating mechanic whose growls hide a fiercely protective heart. Beneath the scars, anger, and stubborn resistance, Finn sees a man desperately trying to convince himself he’s unworthy of love.

Forced into close quarters during Deck’s recovery, the attraction between them becomes impossible to deny.

But just as they begin building something real, ghosts from Deck’s violent past return. A deadly enemy wants revenge, old secrets refuse to stay buried, and the man Deck loves becomes the perfect target.

Now Deck must choose.

Keep running from the life he left behind—or fight for the future he’s finally found.
