Some wars don't end when the uniform comes off. Naomi Amira Smith is a trauma therapist who believes in structure, boundaries, and healing the right way. She's spent her life helping others face their pain-never letting her own heart get too involved. Kyzier Saint Bennett is fresh out of the military and drowning in the aftermath. PTSD, survivor's guilt, and sleepless nights follow him everywhere. He doesn't believe in therapy, peace, or love-until Naomi becomes the one place his mind feels quiet. What starts as professional turns dangerous when feelings blur, lines shake, and two broken souls find comfort in each other. But healing isn't linear, and love doesn't erase trauma. Sometimes the hardest battle... is letting yourself be loved.
