A Place Called Home - Soldier Silhouette Trade Paperback Edition

 There's no crying in war. 

That's what Sergeant First Class Reza Iaconelli believes with everything that he is - because it's the only thing in his life that he's been able to control. Running from the demons of his past, he's given the his men everything, hiding the worry and fear beneath a gruff exterior. Nothing will stand in the way of him taking care of his men especially not some direct commission head doc who can barely put on her uniform. He has no idea what she's even doing in the Army, other than getting under his skin.

Captain Emily Lindberg may not know much about the Army but she knows that it's terrible at taking care of soldiers. Running from a past that never accepted her, she's looking for a place to belong. Emily isn't fooled by Reza's rough, angry exterior. Beneath the hard edges, she sees a man who's hiding, using war as a means to escape the demons from his past.

When they collide over one of his soldiers, Reza faces his toughest challenge yet. As his efforts to remain sober start to fail, he'll need to find the strength to do the one thing he's never asked anyone: ask for help. And it may be more than he's capable of.
