When Ryan lost his hearing in an explosion, his world flipped upside down. Surviving a firefighting career in the navy? Check. Growing into an expert in his field? Yep. And now a stupid prepper took him out of commission...maybe forever. Walking into a new barber shop on a whim, he felt an instant connection with the new, multifaceted proprietor. Keenan knew the lone wolf track was hard. Making Ryan's life easier came naturally. No stranger to injuries from his former MMA fighting career, and with Ryan so easy on the eyes, sweet compassion flowed like honey. Two tough guys during their own life-roll events, helping each other out, both hauling an oversized load of baggage. Families, friends, humor...and Sam, the Happy Hour Inn bartender harboring an unhealthy fascination with Area 51. Love? Impossible. With lives so tangled, they had no hope.
