Cora's got her life figured out—or at least that's what she tells herself while surrounded by tattooed bad boys and broken hearts she's determined to avoid. But when Rome Archer rolls in, a gruff former soldier wrestling with his own demons from the battlefield, her perfectly ordered plan starts crumbling in the best way. He's everything she swore she didn't want: stubborn, bossy, and carrying the weight of a war she can't fight. What unfolds is a beautiful collision between a woman who's learned to protect herself and a man learning how to live again, proving that sometimes the most perfect love stories start in all the wrong places.
