Where We Remain

Mara never planned on letting Frank Castle get close.

He's stubborn, dangerous, infuriatingly persistent-and far too accustomed to solving every problem with force. Mara refuses to become another problem he can simply fix. So when Frank starts calling, she declines. When he texts, she ignores him. When he pushes, she pushes back harder.

But Frank Castle has never been good at walking away.

What begins as irritation slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Lingering looks last a little too long. Arguments carry an edge that feels dangerously close to desire. His protectiveness becomes personal. Her carefully built walls begin to crack.

Frank knows how to fight wars, hunt monsters, and survive things that should have killed him.

Mara is different.

She can't be chased down, intimidated, or won over with persistence alone. If Frank wants her, he'll have to learn something far more difficult than fighting-

how to wait for her to choose him.

A gritty, emotional slow-burn romance about two stubborn people, impossible boundaries, buried feelings, and a man discovering that the one battle he desperately wants to win is the one he can't force.
