A wounded soldier returns home to her husband and son, trying desperately to rebuild the life she left behind—but the trauma she survived with a fellow soldier in a combat zone has left an unshakable bond that won't fade, no matter how hard she fights it. When she reaches out to him one last time, both of them must confront the devastating question of whether some connections transcend the boundaries we've carefully drawn around our hearts. This is a deeply emotional exploration of duty versus desire, survival versus healing, and the complicated truth that sometimes the people who save us in our darkest moments become the ones we can never quite let go of. Raw, honest, and achingly real, Heartbreak Warfare will stay with you long after the final page.
