    Having been a reader for thirty years, I just discovered this book and it's really good. I stayed up until 3 AM reading it. The male lead is a soldier with a powerful background who loves the female lead deeply. They separate due to a misunderstanding, and the male lead pursues her while she avoids him, driving her to the point of losing control. The plot is incredibly addictive. It's super sweet, slightly angsty, and I'm hooked! I absolutely love this book!
