She’d step between this town and a bullet without a second thought.
Letting anyone stand between her and the world is the one thing she can’t do.
Officer Rachel Grant learned the hard way that backup can be nothing more than a word on paper. Exposing a corrupt partner cost her the career she’d bled for, so she fled to Corbin—a fading little town where nobody bothers to learn the new cop’s name, and the chief makes no secret he never wanted her.
She’ll do the job.
Keep the wall up.
Need no one.
That’s the plan.
Derek Landon has spent twelve years being the man everyone leans on—and no one truly knows. A blown knee ended the only future he’d ever imagined, and coaching Corbin’s kids became his quiet way of giving everything while risking nothing of his own.
Then a guarded officer with sad eyes appears at the edge of his football field.
For the first time in twelve years, Derek wants something for himself.
Two people who only know how to give.
Two hearts protected by walls built for all the right reasons.
One stubborn little town determined to love them both anyway.
But just as Rachel begins to believe she might finally belong, the city comes calling with everything she lost—and forces the choice she swore she’d never have to make again.
Will she let someone fight for her, for once, or has she spent too long believing no one ever will?
She spent her whole life having everyone else’s back.
Now Corbin wants to have hers.
