Katherine Jacobs has no interest in love anymore. After pouring herself into a relationship that collapsed across an ocean, she’s built her life around independence and career success. As an interior decorator, she thrives on bringing order to other people’s chaos but her own heart remains locked away, untouched and unresolved.
Ronan Walker, a celebrated soccer star, hides behind the roar of the stadium. A fractured family and a brutal breakup have taught him to guard his emotions as fiercely as he guards the goal. Letting anyone in isn’t part of the plan until one offhand comment about his home pushes him to seek help.
The moment Katherine steps inside, Ronan feels something shift. Her humor, her confidence, the way she carries herself it’s everything he didn’t realize he’d been missing. For Katherine, the spark is impossible to ignore, even as her vow to never fall again presses at the back of her mind. Both want connection, but both are haunted by the past.
As walls crumble and feelings deepen, they face the hardest question of all: Can two people scarred by love trust enough to build something new?
