I left Salt Springs thinking it was for the best. Walking away from Jessica Andrews and the life we could’ve had was my biggest mistake. Now, years later, I’m back—and so is she. Except this time, she’s a single mom, and the danger around her is impossible to ignore.

When a late-night call brings me face-to-face with Jessica, her green eyes full of panic and her ex’s threats echoing in my ears, all the reasons I left disappear.

Protecting her isn’t just my job—it’s my obsession. And moving her into my family’s lakefront vacation house to keep her and her teenage son safe? That’s just the beginning.

The tension between us is electric, crackling with every shared glance and accidental brush of skin. The chemistry we buried years ago roars back to life, stronger and more uncontrollable than ever. But Jessica has walls around her heart, and I have demons of my own.

As her ex’s threats escalate, the fire between us becomes impossible to ignore, and I realize I’ll do anything to claim her—for good this time. But when danger comes knocking, will the love we’re rekindling survive, or will it burn us both to the ground?
