It was all Reyna could do to balance the demands of life as an emergency room nurse with providing for her son. Becoming a mother had meant walking away from not only the carefree life of partying and nightclubs, but also the dream of her own happily ever after. But it was a decision she vowed to never regret. She was determined to build a life for her son that would make her father proud. She certainly had not expected that a random patient on an otherwise unremarkable weeknight could so completely upend her life.Bruce had finally found the life he had been seeking for as long as he could remember. No one expected anything from him, or even took much notice of his existence. He had his land, his dog, and his books. He occasionally found himself in a position to help the fellow citizens of the tiny town where he had settled, but they were content to let him disappear again once the deed was done. No one ever asked about his past, or the ghosts of all those he was directed to eliminate who greeted him each time he closed his eyes.When Reyna realized just how much danger she was facing, she took her son and left town without hesitation. But her decisiveness seemed all for naught when her pursuers located her within hours, forcing her car off a highway embankment and into the river below. She woke to discover that a mysterious man rescued them and delivered them to the hospital before disappearing again despite his own injuries. Her quest to thank the enigmatic man who saved them soon spiraled out of control, due both to the dogged efforts of the villainous forces sworn to see her dead and what she discovered as she got to know the stalwartly independent, terrifyingly capable and downright grumpy man known to the town only as Bruce. Neither could imagine that their lives would be forever altered by their chance encounter.Found Wanting is the tale of a woman who finds herself caught between running for her life and the urge to save a man so consumed by the mistakes of his past that he gave up living, even if his body didn't get the message. One spent a lifetime dreaming of finding happily ever after; the other was just annoyed the 'after' part hadn't happened yet; together, they have found themselves in the crosshairs of a man anxious to deliver them both to the afterlife.
