Redemption In The Smokies (Free Story)
A romance where love is tested—and redemption begins.
Max is a brooding, protective ex-military man carrying the quiet weight of trauma he never talks about. Loyal to his core, he loves deeply and gives completely—especially to Andrea, the woman he treats like a queen. With her, life feels lighter. Younger. Their love is playful, passionate, and full of promise, the kind that makes you believe happiness can last forever.
But love isn’t always effortless.
As time passes, cracks begin to form, and the truth Max didn’t want to see slowly comes into focus. When the person you love starts revealing sides you can’t ignore, what do you do? Hold on harder… or finally let go?
Faced with a choice between the love he believed would last and the peace he desperately needs, Max must decide whether love alone is enough—or if walking away is the bravest act of all.
