McKenna knows what it feels like to have her heart shattered. After giving everything to the man she thought she'd spend forever with, she's left picking up the pieces of a life she no longer recognizes. Carter carries scars of his own. Raised under the shadow of an abusive father, he's learned that trusting people only leads to pain. Love is the last thing he's looking for-and he's convinced he's better off that way. Neither of them is searching for something real. Neither believes they're capable of finding it. But when fate unexpectedly brings them together, the connection between them is impossible to ignore. As old wounds, fears, and insecurities threaten to pull them apart, McKenna and Carter must decide whether the risks of opening their hearts are worth the chance at something they've never truly had. Can they overcome the ghosts of their pasts and embrace the future waiting for them? Or will the very walls built to protect them keep them from the love they were always meant to find? A heartfelt story of healing, hope, and the unexpected power of love. ¿¿¿¿
