    Summary

    Jake Muller has always felt like a man living on borrowed time. Despite the life he’s built with Sherry Birkin, the shadow of his father’s legacy and the scars on his hands make him feel like a permanent outsider in her "perfect" world. When a series of misunderstandings, cold silences, and a night of misplaced jealousy tear them apart, Jake does the only thing he knows how to do: he disappears.

    Back in the dirt, fighting for pittance in the world's forgotten corners, Jake is looking for a death that won't come. Meanwhile, back in D.C., Sherry is a woman possessed, tearing through every resource the DSO and Leon S. Kennedy can provide to find the man who took her heart with him when he vanished.

    From the high-society galas of Washington to a blood-soaked village in the desert, this is a story of the words we don't say, the wounds that won't heal, and the desperate, burning love that refuses to let go.

    Two months of silence never prepared Sherry for Jake to show up in the middle of the night, in the rain, at her front door. But nothing between them has ever been predictable, and she's just happy to see he hadn't faded away.

    Summary

    1943. Sherry Birkin is a high-society daughter with a secret that could destroy her: she's unwed, pregnant, and desperate. Jake Muller is a cynical soldier with a scarred heart and a week of medical leave.

    The deal is simple: Jake plays the doting husband to pacify Sherry's cold, clinical parents, and Sherry gets a shield against her family's cruelty. It's a temporary lie, a tactical manoeuvre. But as the letters travel from the front lines of Europe back to the Birkin estate, the facade begins to crack.

    They say war is built on deception, but neither of them realised that the biggest lie they told— the one about how they met— might actually be the truth.
