ANDREW AND OLIVIA (en Inglés) - Adele Leurini

This is an age-gap story about an older woman and a younger man. After twenty years in the Army, trauma surgeon Olivia Jarrett returns to Los Angeles, hoping to leave the horrors of war behind. Fiercely independent and deeply dedicated to her patients, she struggles to adjust to civilian life while carrying wounds her surgical skills cannot heal.

Andrew McNeil knows what it means to bring the battlefield home. A lawyer, Army JAG officer, veteran, and now LAPD homicide detective, he wrestles with his memories as he navigates the pressures of a dangerous profession. When their lives intersect, Olivia and Andrew discover a connection that neither anticipated nor found easy to embrace.

As friendship deepens into love, professional demands, personal struggles, and escalating danger threaten the life they are beginning to build together. Their courage has carried them through extraordinary circumstances, yet trusting each other brings its own challenges.

Blending romance, suspense, humor, and the emotional realities of life after military service, Ordinary Man: Andrew and Olivia, Book 1 by Adele Leurini, follows two imperfect people searching for connection, healing, and a future beyond their past.
