JON

I lost my best friend in a military training accident.

An accident I can't stop replaying in my mind or reliving in my nightmares.

I walked away with his knife in my pack -- and the guilt of knowing he died tangled and alone.

Sharon was the last person I expected to fall for. She was his.

But in our grief, we found something neither of us saw coming.

Until she learned the truth.

She walked away without ever letting me explain.

Four years later, she's back.

And the pain of losing her might be the only thing worse than losing him.

SHARON

Losing Jimmy shattered something inside me. He was my future -- my everything.

And then, in the wreckage of that grief, Jon stepped into my life -- Jimmy's best friend.

He was kind, steady, and exactly what I needed.

Until the day I discovered he played a part in Jimmy's death.

I left without looking back.

Four years later, I'm back, and Jon's no longer a memory I can outrun.

Now I have to decide if I can finally face the truth...

And maybe find a future we never thought we deserved.

This book is part of the Linder Family Series -- a standalone story told in dual POV, with chemistry-filled kisses, no bedroom scenes, and a heartwarming HEA. While the story explores themes of grief and loss, it ultimately celebrates healing, forgiveness, and love.
