I came back for the water, not for him. Charleston was supposed to be temporary. Do the work. Keep my head down. Leave.
Then Jacob Dane steps into my life.
Quiet. Controlled. Dangerous in a way that feels effortless.
When things go wrong, he’s there first. He doesn’t ask what I need. He tells me what will happen. Protection, whether I want it or not.
I tell myself to steer clear. Finish the job. Go.
But Jacob moves closer. Slow. Certain. Hands on my hips, voice in my ear, making promises no sane woman should believe and backing every one with action.
He doesn’t court. He claims. He doesn’t negotiate. He decides. He doesn’t swear I’m safe. He makes me feel it.
I know better than to want what can drown me.
I dive with my eyes open.

-----About the Dominion Hall
Seven men. One brotherhood.
Built in Charleston, South Carolina in the shadows of war and wealth, Dominion Hall isn’t just a mansion—it’s their fortress. Ruthless. Untouchable. Dangerous.
But even the strongest men fall… for the wrong woman.
Enemies will come.
Betrayal will burn.
And the men of Dominion Hall?
They’ll bury anyone who dares to touch what’s theirs.
Possessive. Jealous. Obsessive.
These billionaires don’t share. They claim.
For fans of dangerous love, anti-heroes who live by their own rules, and the women who bring them to their knees.
Jack Flynn co-writes dark billionaire military romance with Lainey Ray.
Jack is a former military man with a sharp mind, a devilish smirk, and a habit of taking control—in fiction and otherwise. He likes his books like he likes his combat strategies: fast-paced, explosive, and leaving no survivors. When he’s not crafting tactical missions and deadly antiheroes, you can find him reading action thrillers, watching war movies, or engaging in other kinds of action we won’t discuss here.
Jack brings the precision, the danger, and the raw intensity to every Jack & Lainey book. He knows exactly how to build a hero who commands a room, claims a woman, and takes down anyone who dares to stand in his way.
Rumor has it, Jack never loses control … unless Lainey’s involved.
The more I read Jack Flynn's and Lainey Ray's work, the more I captivated I become. Fabulous characters woven into interesting and diverse story lines that are filled with emotions, tension, suspense, action, danger and white hot romance. I think I've read book in one sitting!
