Somewhere to Begin: A Slow Burn Romance

A runaway bride. A broken warrior.

Dutiful. Subservient. Perfect. Colbie Bennington has been trained from a young age to be obedient.
But walking down the aisle with purple welts on her forearm was never a part of her dream wedding.

Away from the chaos of her life, she’s looking for a fresh start.
Her quiet and mysterious landlord isn’t part of the plan.
But his hard-muscled body and smoldering smiles are difficult to ignore.

Too trapped in a mental war to be at peace and too damaged to be at war, romance is the last thing on Navy Seal, Zander Serrano’s mind.
Colbie is a wounded bird.
Everything he should stay away from.
Yet, for the first time since returning from war, he feels emotion, hot all-consuming.

Two broken souls.
Each with their own scars.
The attraction is undeniable. Unexpected.

Will they heal each other?
Or destroy themselves beyond repair?
