📚 Book 1 of a completed 2-book series
When Danika locks eyes with Tristan, she knows she's staring trouble right in the face—and she can't look away. Despite everything she's learned about protecting her heart, this dangerously charming man makes her want to abandon all her carefully laid plans and just feel. What unfolds is a passionate, all-consuming love story that teaches her what it means to live in the moment instead of always chasing tomorrow. This is a raw, emotional ride about two people who collide hard and burn bright, perfect for readers who love alpha heroes and heroines brave enough to risk everything for love.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry indie rock and sensual R&B for a slow-burn collision of desire and vulnerability. Think smoldering tension, late-night confessions, and the raw electricity of two people surrendering to what they've been fighting. Moody, intimate, and unapologetically passionate.
