Survivors

Survivors - Some Things Are Worth Fighting For, Even When Healing from Trauma Seems Too Much

They both survived. Now they have to learn how to live.

Kat moved from Brooklyn to Nashville with nothing but a suitcase and her dream: to become a country star. Her voice is powerful, her ambition razor-sharp. But when she's raped in the supply room of her recording studio, the career she worked so hard to build nearly falls apart. The person who saves her in the aftermath is Dereck, the quiet sound tech who found her, stayed with her, and hasn't stopped showing up for her since.

Dereck knows what it's like to survive things you don't talk about. After growing up in the shadows of domestic violence, then aging out of the foster care system, he's learned how to bury his past trauma so deep it can never resurface. But when he meets Kat, the trauma they go through together brings out something in him he thought he'd buried for good.

When he offers to train her in self-defense in the boxing gym, he doesn't expect it to become a lifeline for them both. As they navigate trauma, trust, and the space between safety and connection, Kat and Dereck discover that healing isn't straightforward and that love sometimes shows up when you least expect it to.

Survivors is a raw, intimate contemporary romance about two people learning that they don't have to heal from deep trauma alone.
