Lena Buckley worries about everything. Burying her mom after spending the last three years as the ailing woman’s sole caregiver, the distraught thirty-five-year-old feels defined by a broken marriage and failed bakery. Resigned to yet another disaster, she’s surprised when she’s pulled over by a rugged cop… who hands her a note of encouragement.
Ben Wright doesn’t judge. Coping with both physical and emotional injuries earned in Afghanistan, the former soldier recognizes instantly the real pain of the lovely driver he caught speeding. And after more chance encounters, he begins to see beyond the hurt to a warmth and openness that calls to his heart.
Struggling with an anxiety disorder, Lena’s overwhelm is compounded by finances and the pandemic, leaving her to doubt even the down-to-earth lawman could think her lovable. While Ben is more determined than ever to show the complicated woman that she’s worthy, completely capable, and matters.
Can they get past their traumas to find healing in each other’s arms?

If not enjoying someone else’s imaginary world, Jessica Sherry’s lost in her own with characters who are smarter, more romantic, adventurous, and better looking than she is—qualities they pay for dearly, given the hardships she puts them through. A Virginia Tech grad, she’s been a teacher, preschool director, #PitchWars mentee, personal chef, and chauffeur (some, just for her household). Her monster imagination is fed by her small town and family life in Wilmington, NC, where her loved ones don’t seem to mind becoming heroes, villains, funny sidekicks, or creepy bystanders in her stories—she’s careful to disguise them. She supports her blog and social media attempts with coffee and hemp oil in nearly equal measure. When she isn’t being bookish, she’s at the beach or out and about, hunting down sweet romantic vibes or suspicious activity to write about later. Her Delilah Duffy Mystery Series delivers sweet romance alongside puzzling whodunits. Her heartwarming contemporary romance, One Thing Better, is available now. Check out the buzz for it on Instagram, where you can follow her antics, too—@jessicasherry_books.
