Mercy Series Bio's - Dalton Frost

 Dalton Frost

Dalton Frost carries his history on his face. 

A former U.S. soldier turned private security contractor, Dalton is defined by discipline, vigilance, and restraint. His years in combat taught him how to survive under pressure—and left their mark in the form of scars he doesn’t hide and memories he rarely acknowledges. He moves through the world with practiced awareness, always watching exits, always measuring threat, always ready to act. 

Civilian life never fully fit. 

After leaving the military, Dalton built a career protecting others from the edges of danger, favoring work that is temporary, contained, and emotionally distant. He believes in preparation, structure, and control. In his world, emotions complicate decisions, and hesitation gets people hurt. 

But distance is a fragile illusion. 

A temporary assignment brings Dalton into Naomi Thorne’s life, placing him inside a home that represents everything he’s learned to keep at arm’s length—family, routine, and a kind of safety he no longer trusts. As events unfold, Dalton finds himself confronting situations that don’t conform to familiar threat models, where instinct and loyalty matter more than rules of engagement. 

Dalton does not believe in fate.

 He believes in responsibility—and in standing his ground when others can’t. 

Haunted by what he’s done and what he’s survived, Dalton becomes an unlikely constant in a story shaped by impossible choices. When violence presses close and the cost of mercy becomes real, he is the one who steps forward—not because he wants to, but because someone has to. 

He is controlled.

 He is scarred.

 And when the line is crossed, Dalton Frost does not look away.
