Elizabeth thought she'd moved on from Porter Caldwell, but when her brother's dangerous choices put her in the crosshairs of Miami's ruthless criminal underworld, the former Marine is the only person she can turn to. As killers close in and the stakes escalate, Porter makes it clear he won't let her slip away again—and he'll burn down anyone or anything that threatens her, consequences be damned. Their chemistry ignites as fiercely as the danger surrounding them, forcing Elizabeth to confront not just the threats to her life, but the feelings she never quite managed to bury. This is a second-chance romance that crackles with tension, heart, and the kind of protective devotion that will have you rooting for these two from page one.
Reading soundtrack
Intense, smoldering tension with danger lurking beneath. Dark R&B, moody pop, and gritty indie rock—think The Weeknd, Banks, and PVRIS. High-stakes chemistry meets protective passion. Sultry beats mixed with adrenaline-fueled intensity.
