Neev Byrne never expected her search for belonging to lead her into the secretive world of Creed's Lake. Surrounded by military legends and haunted by family secrets, Neev is determined to carve out a place for herself, even if it means risking everything for the man she cannot resist.

Josh Magnus is a survivor, a soldier with scars deeper than anyone knows. He has sworn to protect his brothers-in-arms and the sanctuary they have built, but nothing prepares him for the slow-burning desire that ignites every time Neev is near. Their chemistry is electric, their stolen moments are filled with hungry kisses, tangled sheets, and whispered promises that leave them both breathless. Every touch is a risk, every night together a secret that could cost them everything.

When Josh is called away on a dangerous mission, the stakes rise higher than ever. Neev faces the storm of family drama, small-town gossip, and the ache of longing for the man who sets her body and soul on fire. As secrets threaten to unravel and tragedy strikes, Neev and Josh must decide if their passion is worth the risk, or if some dreams are too dangerous to chase.

In this sweeping, emotional romance, desire and danger collide as two guarded hearts surrender to a love that burns hotter with every forbidden touch.
