Jameson Carter came home early from deployment, thinking distance was the hardest part of war. He was wrong.

One night. One open door. One betrayal that shatters everything he believed awaited him. With his marriage in ruins and his trust destroyed, Jameson struggles to find himself without the uniform, without the life he fought to return to. Anger shields him. Isolation protects him. Love is no longer an option, just another risk he won’t take.

Then he meets Kaylee. She’s not part of his past. She’s not trying to fix him. And she isn’t afraid of his scars.

What begins as something simple, uncomplicated, unpromised, slowly becomes something Jameson never expected: a reason to breathe again. But healing isn’t linear, and ghosts don’t disappear just because someone new walks in.

As Jameson confronts betrayal, grief, and the terrifying possibility of starting over, he must decide if love is worth risking his heart one last time or if some wounds were never meant to heal.

Collateral Hearts is a gripping, emotional romance about betrayal, rebuilding, and the woman who helps a broken soldier find his way back to himself.

Loved the narration from Austin Taylor Smith

Jameson Carter only wanted peace when he comes home early from deployment. But early is not good for his marriage , he now finds himself struggling must of all with is trust. No romance , his scares are deep in and out but how wrong can someone be.
Meeting Kaylee changes everything, A woman see him and not his scares or his past. This book is a full on emotional romance, that has betrayal, trust and two people who find their strengths grow with each other.
