Two damaged hearts. One impossible connection. And a collision they never saw coming.

Tara has spent her life in survival mode. With a past that left scars and responsibilities she never asked for, she's done playing nice just to keep afloat. Life keeps dragging her down—and when it finally breaks her, the last thing she needs is a brooding military man with a hero complex showing up to complicate things.

Captain Hunter doesn't do distractions. He's a decorated fighter pilot with a cold exterior and a silent vow to never let anyone in. But when Tara crashes into his world—fierce, chaotic, and completely unafraid of him—everything starts to unravel. She's the only woman who's ever dared to challenge him. And the only one he can't walk away from.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their timing is a disaster.
But some collisions are meant to change everything.
