Sequel to Paint Me Saved. Not to be read as a standalone.
 
Time has the power to change people, the power to heal any wound.

After a failed mission, Leonardo Brenton finds himself in the hospital. Battered both in body and confidence, he goes into hiding. He has given up on love too, knowing it was a game she played on him. 

Deciding to move to a new city, away from media scrutiny bought forth by his father and the reminders of once sacred love, he soon realizes not everyone can escape their past.

Zemira Ford will not give up on love. She waits patiently, biding time for the love of her life to return to her. When her father's health takes a turn for the worst, she must decide - move to a different city or stay back for love.

When their worlds intertwine, and lies holding together the foundations of their fragile relationship crumble, Leonardo and Zemira must decide.

Are they ready to change and admit to the mistakes and lies breaking them apart? Or will theirs turn into a wound of a relationship no time could heal?

Part 2 of Redeemed by a Soldier series.

Love Misunderstood by SophieLeo03

I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.
