A slow-burn romance about scars, second chances and choosing love anyway. He went on vacation and came home with an unexpected souvenir. It wasn't a Highland cow. It was love. Former Navy SEAL and private investigator, Charlie Henderson, has spent his life keeping promises-to protect the innocent, to finish the mission, to never walk away when things get hard. But when it came to marriage? Five vows. Five failures. At least in his opinion. Charlie has sworn off relationships for good, convinced that happiness isn't meant for men like him. Instead, he pours his loyalty into his found family, the Freemans-the only constant he trusts. Until a trip to Scotland changes everything. Rhoswen Campbell is an associate history professor with sharp intelligence, quiet confidence, and absolutely no patience for inaccurate tour-guide facts. She's nothing like the women from Charlie's past. That's exactly the problem. What starts as a vacation connection becomes something deeper. Slower. More intense. By the end of the trip, neither wanted to say goodbye. Rhoswen doesn't demand promises Charlie isn't ready to make. She doesn't rush him. He can't stay away from her. But falling in love is easy compared to what comes next. When she learns his truth, she doesn't treat his scars like flaws to be fixed. All she does is hold him closer. A year into dating, Charlie asks Rhoswen to meet his family. She thinks she knows what she's walking into. She's heard the stories and their history. But while Rhoswen is prepared to defend herself with logic and grace, she isn't prepared for Charlie to be the one on trial. Because the Freemans don't just want to know who she is. They want to know why Charlie believes this time will be different. For the first time in his life, Charlie must decide if he's brave enough to open up the wounds of his past to fight for his future.
