Before Xaden Riorson, there were the four Fly Boys: a deeply emotional and angsty New Adult romance series from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing.There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer . . .Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his daughter and job. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbour is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel.Morgan Bartley is stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why.
