β¦ Synopsis
From the moment I saw him, all blue eyes and American pie, I knew I'd never be the same.
Determined to escape the pressure of her impending graduation, Wren Porter chooses to take a semester in Europe. She's there to study, party, and hide from the question that's haunting her - What's next?
At least that's the plan until one night in Munich when she meets Jax, an American soldier stationed overseas. He's charming, he's handsome, and in one small act of kindness he becomes Wren's own personal hero. Suddenly the two are swept up in a mad romance that will cross countries, break laws, and leave them both breathless.
But Jax has questions about his own future and when reality comes calling their bond is put to the test. Are they only meant to have the nights they shared together in Europe, or could they be so much more?
Could they be the future they've both been looking for?
