Hearts in Armor by Piper Davenport

Navy
A lifetime ago, Cade Wallace was the most popular boy in school, and I was the insecure teenager from a tiny country in the South Pacific who somehow caught his eye.
He was everything to me.
But I was torn away from him in a cruel twist of fate, and I wrapped my heart in armor to protect it from shattering.
Twenty years later, an unexpected encounter might mean a second chance, but there’s something I haven’t told him, and that secret might be the end of us forever.

They say you have one true soulmate. And I met mine when I was too young to know how to fight for her.
Navy Simmonds was the blonde-haired beauty from New Zealand who set my world on fire, but when she was taken from me, I went down a dark road, one that made me unworthy of her.
Decades later, fate puts her in my path again, and I am determined to keep her. But someone else has different plans and I must fight with everything I am to protect her.
