About this book

When Naomi bolts from her own wedding after locking eyes with a mysterious stranger through the church window, she's ready to finally figure out who she actually is—and it's definitely not the polished trophy wife everyone expects. Enter Jason, a tattooed former Special Forces diver with zero charm and a teenage sister who desperately needs a pageant coach, and suddenly Naomi's reinvention gets a whole lot steamier. Their chemistry is undeniable under the Florida sun, but there's a catch: Naomi's determined to win back her ex-fiancé, while Jason knows this beautiful runaway bride is only passing through. With the clock ticking and everything on the line, these two will have to decide if what they're building is worth the risk of getting burned.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
intoxicatedrebellioussmolderingmagneticuntamed

Sun-soaked sensuality meets raw intensity—think sultry R&B, confident indie pop, and steamy alternative rock. Capture the rush of breaking free, the electric pull of forbidden attraction, and the heat of bodies close in the Florida humidity. Confident, unapologetic, smoldering.
