Sailing the Caribbean solo was supposed to be an escape. Instead, I'm trapped on a thirty-five-foot boat with my new bodyguard—an overprotective alpha male who was my first love.



Loving Jackson Shaw in secret almost cost me my relationship with my best friend—his younger sister. Losing him nearly broke me.



It took years to put the pieces of my heart back together. To find some semblance of happiness. And while a lot has changed since the last time I saw him over a decade ago, the way my body reacts to him has not.



Jackson's a former Navy SEAL, and when he puts his mind to something, he won't let anything stand in the way. So when he sets his sights on me, I'm both anxious and thrilled. My body might crave his touch, but my heart is another matter entirely.



Jackson wants a second chance, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm too focused on our past to see our future.
