Everything to Lose (Book Two)

"I thought I had nothing to lose. Now I know I have everything-and it terrifies me."

--------

Hailee Steinfeld thought the hardest part would be letting Fallon Knox walk away for deployment.
She was wrong.

Fallon is thousands of miles away in Syria, buried in dust, danger, and silence. Hailee is trapped in the spotlight in Los Angeles - junkets, flashing cameras, questions that cut too deep. Every phone call could be the last. Every headline feels like a warning.

Evan, a co-star with his own agenda, hovers too close. Florence Pugh becomes an unlikely sister-in-arms, holding Hailee up when the weight threatens to crush her. Sophie is a shield, Griffin and Hailee's parents a constant reminder of what's at stake.

And Fallon - Ranger, leader, survivor - carries her unit through fire until the day the fire swallows her too. An ambush leaves her scarred, broken, and flown home not as the soldier she was, but as someone the Army may no longer want.

Now Hailee has to fight a different war:
Keeping Fallon tethered when PTSD drags her under.
Convincing her that scars don't make her unlovable.
Proving that love doesn't end when the uniform does.

Because Fallon thought she had nothing to lose.
But now? She knows she has everything.
And it terrifies her.
