Description

Nathan Malone is a former Navy SEAL who has spent years living with the scars of war and the secrets of a dangerous past. Tough, disciplined, and intensely protective, he’s the kind of man who’s used to being in control.

But there’s one woman who’s always had the power to shake that control.

Tess Brady has been Nathan’s friend for years—the girl next door who has always stood by him, even when he kept everyone else at a distance. She’s strong, independent, and determined not to let Nathan’s brooding nature keep her away.

The problem?

The attraction between them has been building for years.

When danger from Nathan’s past begins to surface, Tess is pulled into a world of secrets, threats, and high-stakes tension. As they work together to uncover the truth, the line between friendship and something deeper becomes impossible to ignore.

Because what they feel for each other has never really been just friendship.

And once those feelings ignite, neither of them will be able to walk away.
