I am in the most inconvenient marriage of convenience ever.

What started out as two friends who wanted to make their military lives easier, turned into a mess.

Why? Because I stupidly fell in love with my husband.

In an attempt to remedy my mistake, I severed all ties and put my life as a combat medic and Emmett Maxwell behind me. I've lost too many people to open myself up to love.

Now I'm working as a private investigator, and fate has stepped in, forcing our paths to intersect again when I'm looking into the disappearance of a missing girl with ties to Emmett's hometown. A case I fear puts his life in danger.

He gives me one week to prove my suspicions and then I need to sign the divorce papers and leave. The problem with that? The moment I see Emmett again, I realize how foolish it was to leave him, to think I could ever stop loving him.

When the case threatens not only my life but also his, I'm faced with my worst fear. How many times can a heart break before it shatters beyond repair?
