I never meant to fall for him. Our hot, impossible obsession wrapped in silk and leather was my undoing.
What started as an ‘in the moment’ relationship turned into something I couldn’t fake for a second longer.
When Sawyer James, a brooding ex–Navy SEAL, walked into my life all I saw was trouble bundled in muscle and mystery. He said he wanted peace and quiet. I didn’t believe him for a second.
My flower shop was barely staying afloat, my heart still pieced together from an old betrayal, and the last thing I needed was small-town gossip.
What started as denying turned into something neither of us could hide. Late-night touches, stolen kisses, and sizzling chemistry that made me want more.
Yet, the lines blurred until I couldn’t remember where the obsession ended and my feelings began. The closer we got, the more I saw the man behind the scars—the soldier still fighting his own war.
And when life threw us both a curveball I never saw coming, I realized I wasn’t the only one needing saving. He thought he wasn’t built for love. I thought I couldn’t trust it again.
Turns out, fate had other plans.
