She's rebuilding her life. He's learning to heal. Together, they'll discover that love can be the most powerful rescue of all.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score comes a deeply moving small-town romance about finding hope after heartbreak, claiming your worth, and believing in second chances.

For Gloria, survival came first. Now, it's time to liveβ€”and to trust that scars don't mean broken.

Ten years lost to a controlling relationship have left Gloria determined to take her life back, one bold change at a time. Her next chapter? It's hers alone. But hometown hero Aldo Moretta, a decorated military veteran with a wicked grin and a heart of gold, refuses to let her give up on love, or herself.

A single unforgettable kiss. A promise that lingers. And when Aldo's deployment ends unexpectedly, Gloria must find the courage to fight for their happy endingβ€”even if it means becoming the hero she never knew she could be.

Perfect for readers who love emotional small-town romance, strong heroines, and unforgettable love stories that linger long after the last page.

Author's Note: You will laugh, cry, and fall head over face for Gloria and Aldo. And the evil rescue kitten. Also the four-letter-word-loving, commando-going Mrs. Moretta who's just in it for the cookies.
