Hearts Against Odds

By Colin Bradley

A small-town boy chasing purpose. A determined girl who believes in him. A love tested by war, distance, and the unrelenting pull of duty.

When Trevor, a restless young man from rural Illinois, enlists in the Army to find meaning beyond the diner's greasy lights, he doesn't expect to meet Alyssa, the bright, ambitious girl who changes everything. From bonfires by the river to whispered promises under starlit skies, their connection burns fast and deep-until his orders arrive.

Hearts Against Odds follows their journey through love, separation, and the unbreakable resilience of two hearts determined to survive what the world throws at them. From the quiet farmlands of the Midwest to the discipline of Fort Knox, their story captures the courage it takes to love someone who serves-and the hope that bridges every letter sent home.

This deeply emotional military romance explores the cost of service, the power of sacrifice, and the timeless belief that true love endures even in the face of uncertainty.

Perfect for readers who love Nicholas Sparks-style love stories, heartfelt coming-of-age journeys, and the emotional strength of military couples who refuse to give up on each other.
