End of a New Life - Heroes of Grant's Crossing, #3

A troubled veteran. A tenacious journalist. An abandoned home.    Some repairs take time.  Army Ranger veteran Derek Mitchell can't shake the memory of losing his best friend on the battlefield in Afghanistan. To cope, he turns to the bottle and one-night stands, two vices that become less and less reliable with each passing day.  When his nightmares worsen and the drinking consumes him, he retreats to his carriage house apartment tucked behind a large, abandoned Victorian home.  Investigative journalist Callie Thomas pours herself into her work after her colleague's disappearance until an unexpected opportunity offers her a renewed sense of purpose.  Still facing demons of her own, she finds herself halfway across the country, living next door to a brooding paramedic, hellbent on fighting a battle no one else can see.  Together, they forge an unlikely friendship during the renovation of her grandfather's childhood home. Will it be enough to piece both of their lives back together?
