I played it safe... until he lit the match.
Four years ago, Ayla Wilder fell hard and fast for Johnny Storm-the charming, reckless hero with fire at his fingertips and a soft spot only she ever got to see. But after an attack nearly cost her life, he disappeared without a word, leaving her heart scorched and full of questions.
Now she's engaged to Jacob Hale: powerful, respected, and perfect in the eyes of everyone who matters. Her life is polished, orderly... safe. Until one chance encounter at a high-profile gala brings Johnny crashing back into her world.
The chemistry between them is instant-dangerous. What begins as unresolved tension and buried feelings quickly reignites into something impossible to ignore. And Johnny isn't just back for closure-he's back because Jacob is hiding something. Something deadly.
As secrets unravel and passions flare, Ayla must choose between the life that's expected of her... and the man who still sets her soul on fire.
Because Johnny may have walked away to protect her once-
But this time, she might have to risk everything just to feel safe again.
