Five years ago, Sloane Monroe loved the wrong Sinclair. Young, loyal, and completely in love, she spent too many nights crying over a man who cheated on her like it was second nature. Leaving Jace Sinclair broke her, but staying would've destroyed her. Now twenty-eight, back in her hometown, and helping care for her mother after an Alzheimer's diagnosis, Sloane is focused on surviving-college during the day, work at an exclusive underground club at night, and helping her father hold their family together. Love was never part of the plan... until Malcolm Sinclair walks back into her life. Older, powerful, intentional, and completely off limits, Malcolm is the same man who once told her she deserved better than his son. What starts as quiet conversations turns into something neither of them expected, forcing Sloane to choose between fear and the kind of love she's only ever dreamed about. The problem? Falling for your ex-boyfriend's father was never supposed to feel this right.

Aurora Fletcher thought she had seen it all. As a psychiatric nurse, she's spent years helping people navigate trauma, addiction, grief, and the darkest moments of their lives. Then David Blackwell is admitted to her unit under a fake name. A man haunted by nightmares he refuses to talk about and a past he can't escape. Aurora knows he's hiding something. What she doesn't know is that David Blackwell is one of the most powerful and feared men in the city-and four years ago, he lost everything when his three-year-old daughter, Dove, was killed. Now he's left carrying a grief that never healed, memories that won't let him sleep, and a guilt he can't outrun. The closer Aurora gets to him, the harder it becomes to ignore the man beneath the reputation. But David has enemies. Aurora has boundaries. And some secrets are dangerous enough to destroy them both. He was supposed to be her patient. She was never supposed to become his reason to keep living.
