โฆ Synopsis
He came home a hero and lost the only woman heโs ever lovedโฆ John: I have no idea how to survive without my beloved Ava. She had no choice but to move on with her life during my six-year deployment and has now married Eric. I hate him for taking her from me. Iโd prefer to wallow in my depression and heartbreak, but the whole damned world wants a piece of the SEAL Team leader who helped capture the worldโs most-wanted terrorist. I need help handling the relentless requests, and when Ava sends her new sister-in-law to manage the media circus for me, Iโm prepared to hate her on principle. Her brother took my Ava. What else do I need to know about her? Julianne: It takes five seconds to realize Avaโs ex is going to be the most complicated and difficult client Iโve ever had, but the opportunity to represent the most celebrated man in the world could make my career. Iโm determined to do the job, even if I dislike John from the moment I meet him. And I like everyone. So much so that my brothers worry about me being exploited by those who would take advantage of my unwavering love for others. But Johnโฆ Heโs in a class by himself, and his bitterness is a festering wound that I begin to wish I could somehow fix for him. The more time we spend together, the more our mutual disdain morphs into something that feels an awful lot like desire. Thereโs no way I can want this man, or so I tell myself, and when Eric finds out Iโve developed feelings for the man causing trouble in his new marriage, wellโฆ Thatโs going to be a hot mess.
