When Didi lands an internship at a military hospital, she encounters Noel Walker—a wounded marine who's as guarded as they come, determined to keep everyone at arm's length. Despite knowing she should stay away, Didi finds herself drawn to the broken man beneath his prickly exterior, and he seems to find unexpected peace in her presence. As their connection deepens into something neither of them can ignore, Didi discovers that love isn't the fairy tale she imagined—it's messy, complicated, and sometimes requires choosing to fight even when everything falls apart. This is a beautifully emotional story about healing, sacrifice, and whether true love is worth the risk.
