She can break a room full of soldiers before breakfast. She can't drill the fear out of her own marriage.
Senior Drill Sergeant Gina Montgomery-Lincoln built her whole life on discipline - chin up, boots laced, feelings squared away. She survived a childhood split down the middle, clawed her way up the ranks, and opened her arms to a little girl who wasn't hers by blood but became hers by love.
Then she found her husband across a restaurant table with another woman.
First Sergeant Malcolm Lincoln swears it never went that far. Swears the debt he hid, the specialist he let get too close, the man he'd started becoming in the dark - swears all of it is a mistake he's ready to bury. And maybe Gina could believe him.
If they had time.
But the Army doesn't care about broken marriages. Orders come down: a nine-month deployment. The same unit. The same woman. And Gina is left stateside with a grieving six-year-old, an adoption to finalize, and a husband she loves too much to trust and too much to leave.
Then the door bell rings in the wee hours, and Specialist Carter's lie threatens to end Malcolm's career, their family, and everything Gina spent her life protecting.
Loving him was never the hard part.
Trusting him again? That's the battle.
Battle My Love is a slow-burn, second-chance military romance about the messy, holy work of rebuilding - where I love you has to be earned, forgiveness isn't the same as forgetting, and a house full of sisters, an Army of one stubborn woman, and a little girl who deserves the world are all worth fighting for.
For readers of Kennedy Ryan, Alexandria House, Tia Williams, and Christina C. Jones.
Grown-woman love. Real stakes. A homecoming you'll feel in your chest.
