The Price of Freedom

Every breath is a precious gift. Nate Abernethy learned this lesson the hard way from a very young age. Now, he's faced with an impossible decision: Stay by the side of the woman he's loved since elementary school knowing that each breath she draws could be her last? Or fulfill the promise he made to his dad to join the military and help catch the insurgents who killed him? There is no right choice. Either way, the price of freedom is just too high. Authors note: The Price of Freedom is a novella which can be read as a standalone. However, it will be better understood if it's read after Jude's Song but before Paths Not Taken.
