Elara Hart has always found comfort in the quiet corners of her library, surrounded by stories that never let her down. Shy, bookish, and still carrying the scars of a childhood spent in the system, she prefers fictional worlds to unpredictable people-until a brooding stranger storms into her peaceful haven and asks for The Art of War. Kade Walker is strength, silence, and secrets. As the head of an elite special forces team, he's used to danger, control, and keeping people at arm's length. But the soft-spoken librarian with hot chocolate in her hands and hope in her eyes chips away at his walls with every awkward smile. Their connection begins in stolen glances and slow conversations, growing deeper through moments of vulnerability, quiet dinners, and shared fears. But Kade's world is dangerous, and when it comes crashing into Elara's, he'll have to choose between protecting her from it-and letting her in completely. With therapy, healing, and a love neither of them saw coming, Elara and Kade must learn what it means to build a life together-one chapter at a time. A slow-burn, opposites-attract romance filled with tender moments, deep scars, and a love story that proves even the quietest hearts can love the loudest.
