After her marriage implodes in spectacular fashion, Rowan limps back to Peace Falls, VA, with her life in tatters and her sister’s hearse as a chariot. Her plan? Heal her broken body and pride, then escape small-town life for good. But when Caleb Cardoso, the town’s handsome new physical therapist, becomes her reluctant healer, things take an unexpected turn.
Caleb, a former football star burned by betrayal, is in no mood for romance—or risking his precarious career. Yet Rowan’s fiery resilience chips away at his walls. As their sessions grow more personal, Rowan persuades him to help her brother with football tryouts, forcing Caleb to confront a painful past.
Will they risk their hearts to mend each other’s wounds, or let fear drive them apart again?
