Aria Pecorelli is fresh off a toxic engagement, determined to start anew in North Carolina. As an elementary school teacher and newly single dog mom, she's ready to leave the trauma behind and focus on healing-while steering clear of men.

Antonio Ranaldi lives by the mantra "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Stationed in South Carolina, he finds all the support he needs on base. Scarred by a past relationship, he's focused on new aspirations, with romance the last thing on his mind.

But destiny has other plans.

The chemistry between Aria and Antonio is undeniable, the attraction stronger than either has ever felt. Yet, with Aria sworn off men and Antonio facing an impending reenlistment, their hurdles are just beginning. As the spark between them intensifies, can they overcome distance and their painful pasts to embrace a shared future?
