In the aftermath of a coastal heist gone wrong, former Navy SEAL Jax “Reaper” Harlan is hired to protect the one woman who unravels his iron control: Isabella Monroe, a sharp-witted art curator whose priceless collection just became the target of dangerous thieves.
Isabella never asked for a bodyguard, especially not one as rugged and commanding as Jax, with storm-gray eyes that see straight through her defenses and a body honed by years of elite missions. When a hurricane traps them together in Tidehaven’s most isolated safe house, the line between protection and possession blurs fast.
Jax swore he’d never let desire compromise a job again. Isabella refuses to be another mission statistic. Yet as passion ignites amid pounding rain and rising threats, one searing kiss could seal their fates or shatter them both.
