Some wounds can be seen. Others leave scars no one else can see. Captain Daniel McFee never imagined his military career with the legendary 101st Airborne Division would end in an instant. A devastating helicopter accident leaves him a below-the-knee double amputee, forcing him to confront a future far different from the one he had planned. Once defined by strength, service, and independence, Daniel now faces the difficult challenge of rebuilding his life-and finding a reason to hope again. Olivia Dunbar understands pain all too well. After escaping an abusive marriage that left her physically and emotionally scarred, Olivia is determined to create a new life for herself. The violence she endured stole more than her sense of security-it robbed her of dreams she once held for the future. Though she has survived, healing feels far more complicated. When Olivia accepts a position as Daniel's caregiver, neither expects the profound impact the other will have on their life. As they navigate daily challenges together, an unexpected friendship begins to grow. What starts as mutual understanding slowly deepens into something neither of them anticipated. Yet both carry burdens from the past that threaten to keep them trapped in fear, grief, and self-doubt. Can two people broken by tragedy learn to trust again? Can they overcome the wounds that continue to shape their lives? And can love flourish when both hearts are still learning how to heal? Set against a backdrop of resilience, courage, and personal transformation, Wounded, but Not Dead is an inspiring story of second chances, emotional recovery, and the extraordinary strength that emerges when people refuse to surrender to life's hardships. Perfect for readers who enjoy heartfelt romance, military heroes, strong female protagonists, and stories of redemption, this moving novel reminds us that while life may leave us wounded, it does not have to defeat us. Because healing is possible. Hope is real. And sometimes the greatest act of courage is choosing to live-and love-again.
