Verity Warren’s life has taken a turn she wasn’t expecting. Newly single, she finds herself between homes and back in the one she grew up in. With her parents on a cruise and her brother tucked away at his favourite writing spot, she’s ready to enjoy some peace and quiet. Until she walks in on her brother’s best friend in a precarious position. Liam Carmichael is crashing in his best friend’s room for a few weeks. He’s been struggling to transition back into civilian life after four years in the army. Nothing could’ve prepared him for the aftermath of time served. But Verity just might be what he needs to silence the nightmares. He’s tried to keep his distance from her in the past, but she’s always been his biggest weakness. And now, it’s clear the attraction is mutual. With a global pandemic and nationwide lockdown, they end up giving in to their inhibitions. Can Verity give Liam more than the stolen moments they've shared, or will this unexpected love be more than she's ready for?
