About this book

When Jess crosses paths with Mark Donovan—a ruthless, devastatingly handsome billionaire and former Army sniper—she's determined to keep her distance from a man who spells trouble in every tailored suit. But Mark never forgot the innocent kiss she gave him eight years ago before his final deployment, a moment that became his lifeline when everything else fell away. Now that she's back in his sights, he's done playing it safe, and Jess discovers that the dangerous soldier she once knew has only gotten more lethal with wealth and time. This is a scorching second-chance romance about a woman who doesn't remember what she meant to him and a man who's spent years becoming someone worthy of claiming her—consequences be damned.

AI-generated synopsis

intenseyearningsmolderingdangerousredemptive

Sultry R&B and moody indie pop with raw tension and slow-burn desire. Think The Weeknd's intensity mixed with Clairo's vulnerability, SZA's sensuality, and alternative rock edge. Dangerous attraction, second chances, and the electricity of forbidden reunion.
