She's the war-hardened vet who doesn't believe in second chances. She's the single mom with a smile that could ruin your whole emotional stability.
After a career-ending injury, Ellie Williams returns home to rebuild her life, starting with physical therapy-and ending somewhere between stolen glances and tangled sheets with the one person she shouldn't be falling for: her therapist, Dina.
But nothing about them is easy.
Not Jesse, her ex and father of her kid.
Not Ellie's war wombs inside and out
Not the feelings neither of them knows what to do with.
With slow-burn tension, the last of us-level emotional trauma, flirty banter, and a whole lot of "I'm not catching feelings" energy, Mended is a messy, sexy, heart-wrenching love story about healing-body first, then soul.
