Charlotte Wood is overwhelmed. Her boyfriend of almost two years cheated on her... and what's worse, it was with her best friend. As she is trying to recuperate from the stress of losing the single two most influential people in her life, she meets Jace. Jace Golden has always been shy, and at least a little bit socially awkward. When he joined the army, he told himself that he would never get married. Growing up in a military family was hard for him, and he saw how stressful it was for his mom, especially since his dad was KIA when he was 16. He didn't want to put someone he loved in that position, but when he met Charlotte, his whole world flipped.
