Cassey thought she could bury her past when she transferred to Westfield University, hoping for a quiet final year. After losing her fiancé, Xavier, a Marine who never made it back from combat, she built walls around her heart-ones no one could break through. Haunted by grief and guilt, Cassey is determined to focus on her studies and leave the pain behind.
Then she meets Levi.
Levi knows the weight of loss too well. A veteran scarred by his own past, he hides his pain behind a guarded silence, keeping everyone at arm's length. But when he crosses paths with Cassey, something stirs-an undeniable connection, neither of them are ready for.
Drawn together yet broken in their own ways, Cassey and Levi find their worlds colliding. Tension simmers, hearts ache, and every moment shared feels like stepping closer to a fragile line. Will they help each other heal, or are they too shattered to be whole again?
