Rylan Maddox walked away from the Army, but the Army didn't walk away from her. Haunted by trauma and trying to rebuild her life, she hides behind discipline, inked skin, and a quiet strength that keeps everyone at a distance-until she meets Amara Rhodes, a veterans' resource coordinator with a soft voice, a sharp mind, and a way of seeing straight through her defenses.
What begins as help becomes comfort.
What becomes comfort becomes home.
As Rylan confronts her triggers, her past, and the guilt she's carried for years, Amara becomes the one person who makes her believe peace is possible. But healing is never simple-and loving a soldier means learning how to stand with her in the moments she can't stand alone.
After the uniform comes off, Rylan must decide: keep surviving the world, or finally let herself live.
