A high-heat, slow-burn-to-scorching why choose romantic suspense with three protective former Navy SEALs, an age gap, fake engagement, forced proximity, a tattooed biker, touch-her-and-die energy, found family, deadly secrets, and plenty of spice. No choosing required.
Seven years ago, my best friend died in Blackthorn, Texas.
Everyone else moved on.
I never did.
Now I’m back, wearing another man’s engagement ring and pretending to build a future with one of the most powerful families in town.
The engagement is fake.
The danger isn’t.
Because somewhere inside the Calloway family’s carefully protected world is the truth about what happened to Emma and I intend to find it.
Then my fiancé shows me exactly what happens to women who ask the wrong questions.
And three former Navy SEALs decide I’m no longer facing him alone.
Logan is the protective deputy sheriff who sees through every lie I tell and makes me want to surrender control for all the right reasons.
Cash is the tattooed biker with a scarred face, a filthy mouth, and the kind of dangerous smile that makes good decisions very difficult.
And Santiago is the quiet, commanding former SEAL who moves into my house to keep me safe and makes sharing a roof with him feel like its own kind of temptation.
They’ve been brothers since the Teams. They fight together. Protect together. Would die for one another without hesitation.
Apparently, wanting the same woman isn’t going to come between them either.
Which would be much easier to handle if I didn’t want all three of them just as badly.
One man makes me feel safe enough to surrender.
One makes me reckless enough to forget every rule.
And one makes protection feel dangerously close to possession.
Before long, stolen touches aren’t enough. Neither are secret kisses.
And the three men guarding my body are becoming the same men I trust with it.
