I swore I’d never love him again. Now I’m living under his roof, raising his daughter, and running for our lives from a killer who wants us all dead. How the hell did that happen?
He’s the man who broke my heart in college. Now he’s a widowed single dad—and my new assignment.
Working this case should be strictly professional. But one look at Cole Maddox, and every buried feeling claws its way back.
I’m forced into his world when threats close in. Sharing late nights over case files, stolen glances across the room. His teenage daughter calling me “Aunt Serena” like no time has passed.
And then it happens. A kiss born of fear and longing. A storm that traps us together. A night where grief and desire collide until I can’t deny the truth.
I’ve fallen for him. Again. Harder this time, with everything at stake.
But the man hunting us knows my connection to Cole. And if he finds us, the choice will be Lose the only family I’ve ever wanted— or watch the man I love surrender his life to save mine.
