Halsey’s Havoc by Brynn Hale

He’s hurting but he took an oath to never tell anyone why. She heals broken people, but Halsey’s a deep kind of broken that even scares her. Could Dharma be the cure for what’s ailing him or will they break each other until the pieces can’t be put back together?

Halsey:
What do you do when someone wants you dead, but they already killed you?
I gave everything to this job, my family, my sanity, my heart, my life…but now they want the ultimate sacrifice and I’m not sure I won’t give in.
I make an appointment to see a shrink to get my head right. I hate them, but this Dr. Howard comes recommended by my pal Patton.
If this guy tries to make me feel, I swear, I’ll be out of there in ten seconds.
But this guy isn’t a guy and wow, do I feel something. More than ever.
I don’t think I can do what she’s asking me to, but I’m going to do what I always do, buckle down and get the mission done.

Dharma:
I can see emotions in his eyes, but it isn’t fear. It’s worse than fear.
I’ve worked with soldiers my entire career and it never gets easier to hear their stories, but I can’t help Halsey unless he opens up to me.
He finally breaks, but I break with him. His pain is my pain and I feel him.
I shouldn’t have dinner with him, and drinks are a no-no, but this is a feeling that even scares me.
If Halsey wants into my life, he’s going to have to make some big changes…and that’s going to take everything inside of him coming out.
I won’t take anything less than the real him. Let’s see if he can soldier up.
