After twelve years in Marine Special Forces, Riley Sloan is desperate for a fresh start. No missions. No danger. No attachments.

Everything was going to plan until his friend calls with one favor:
Find my sister.

Rachelle Thomas has disappeared after discovering her fiancé cheated on her with his barely-legal secretary... who's now pregnant. Humiliated, heartbroken, and one passive-aggressive casserole away from a full emotional breakdown, Chelle escapes to lick her wounds in peace.

What she doesn't expect is Riley Sloan showing up looking like every bad decision she's ever wanted to make.

Riley is older. Hotter. Broody in that dangerous, tattooed, touch-her-and-die kind of way. And bad-dream-comfort situations, late-night alcohol-induced confessions, and enough unresolved tension to combust? Not helping.

Chelle has spent her entire life being the good girl.
The reliable one. The safe one. The woman everyone expects her to be.

But Riley makes her want reckless things.
Fun things.
Dirty things.

And Riley?
He knows getting involved with his best friend's little sister is wrong. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember why she was ever off-limits in the first place.

Especially when she looks at him like he's everything she's ever wanted.

Now Riley and Chelle are navigating meddling siblings, small-town gossip, unresolved heartbreak, and chemistry hot enough to melt Antarctica.

Because falling for each other was never part of the plan.
But walking away might be impossible.

A steamy best friend's little sister forced proximity rom com, packed with protective hero energy, slow-burn tension, small-town meddling, and a forbidden love that refuses to stay off-limits.
