Summary
Carolina Alvez moved to New York to start over.
Three years after losing her wife and leaving behind a life full of grief and trauma, she’s finally built something that feels almost normal: a little house in Astoria, two spoiled dogs, a classroom full of teenagers, and a life that belongs to her.
Then she meets Frank Castle.
He’s rude, guarded, dangerous, and somehow the first person in years who makes her feel completely safe. What starts as a chance encounter slowly becomes friendship, desire, and the terrifying possibility of a second chance.
The problem is, Frank doesn’t believe men like him get second chances.
As their lives become more tangled, Carolina and Frank have to decide whether two people carrying this much grief can stop surviving long enough to actually live—and whether love is enough when Frank’s darkness inevitably follows him home.
