Some people rebuild their lives. Others are left picking up the pieces.
Katie Clark escaped to the Scottish Highlands to start over. No past. No hidden threats. No one left who could hurt her again. She wants quiet days, a rented cottage, a collection of animals, and the chance to finally breathe.
Then she meets Major Lance McDonald, a younger soldier trying to piece his own life back together after everything he has lost.
What begins as friendship grows into something neither of them expected. Something steady. Something hopeful. And for the first time in years, Katie lets herself believe in more, even though the age gap between them makes her doubt what they could be.
But the past she has been running from finally finds her. One violent night shatters everything and forces her to walk away from the only man who ever made her feel safe.
Months later, their worlds collide again. This time a child is caught in the middle, and the choices they make cannot be undone.
Old wounds reopen. Old feelings return.
And the second chance they never thought they would get demands the biggest risk of all.
Because some love stories are not built from scratch.
They are made from the pieces left behind
Author Note: This book is full rewrite and reedit of the previously published Surviving Heartbreak.
Genre: Romance
