Brianna thought she had left the past behind - a fresh career in publishing, a tiny but cozy New York apartment, and a chaotic but warm home shared with her sister and brother-in-law. But when a mysterious manuscript lands on her desk, she's thrust back into a storm she thought had passed.
The author? The one man she swore never to see again.
The story? A devastating true story of war and loss.
As Brianna and Lester are forced to work side by side, the lines between professionalism and buried passion blur. With only a month before he's deployed and secrets unraveling fast, can they rewrite the ending they never got - or will history repeat itself?
A slow-burn second-chance romance filled with emotional depth, unresolved tension, and the healing power of stories.
Fall in love again - when "never" turns into maybe.
