She’s running. He’s ready to catch her.
City girl Jenny thought she had it all figured out. Her job as a war correspondent gave her purpose. She didn’t need love. Didn’t want a family. And it didn’t matter how little time she spent back home in London. But that was before everything fell apart. Before she watched her best friend die in her arms. Now, not only had her world been shattered, so had her heart. That’s how she found herself running—straight into a tall, dark and handsome distraction.
In small-town Texas, local construction worker, Jackson stopped believing in happy endings a long time ago. That is until a beautiful stranger literally crashes into his life and manages to land a few punches for good measure. She’s trouble. Chaos. Heartbreak waiting to happen. But no matter how hard he tries, he can’t stay away.
Tropes: Enemies to lovers, New in town, Journalist/Contractor, Slow burn.

Praise for this book
I was admittedly a little skeptical when I read the info and the FMC being a wartime correspondent. I was a medic in the Army and did a tour in Iraq. Personally, there are some areas/topics that are touchy and off putting when authors guess what it was like or haven't done their due diligence. Thankfully, I did not get that feeling from this book. The tension and bickering between the MMC & FMC are believable, as is the FMC's emotional reactions to past events that compel her to make uncharacteristic changes in her present life (sorry, no spoilers from me). It's a good read.
It blended emotional depth with a satisfying, feel-good love story. The characters’ journeys and the enemies-to-lovers arc make it easy to stay invested from start to finish.
Great story that made me feel all warm and cozy inside.
What a great book! Wasn't sure how much I would actually enjoy it... But I loved it! Highly recommended!
