One reckless night was supposed to be forgettable.
Instead, it changed everything.

I wasn't looking for trouble when I met Jack Dare in a Charleston bar.

But one look at the devastatingly handsome stranger and suddenly I wanted things I'd spent years denying myself.

Freedom.
Desire.
Him.

So for one night, I stopped being careful.

One drink turned into stolen kisses.
One kiss turned into a night I still can't forget.
And by morning, I disappeared before Jack could learn the truth about me.

Because men like him don't survive people like my ex-boyfriend.

Powerful. Ruthless. Obsessed with control.
The kind of man who doesn't let go once he decides you belong to him.

I thought leaving was the only way to protect Jack.

Until two pink lines changed everything.

Now I'm standing outside his Miami doorstep pregnant, terrified, and running out of options.

But the man who opens the door isn't shocked.
He's furious someone made me afraid to come to him.

Jack Dare is protective, relentless, and impossible to walk away from.
The kind of man who would burn the world down for the people he loves.

And the more danger closes in around us, the harder it becomes to remember this was never supposed to be forever.

Because Jack isn't letting me run again.
And for the first time in my life...
I don't want to.
