"Zayne, you don't always have to be so serious, you know," Mila said, her voice light, trying to coax a smile out of him. "We're just going to an event, not a war zone."
Zayne's lips twitched, almost forming a smile, but he caught himself. "It's my job to be serious, Mila. Keeping you safe is my priority."

"You think you have such a smart mouth, don't you?" She said, so sweetly. So quietly. So deviously.
I crossed my arms, the muscles in my arms jumped and strained against the sleeves of my red shirt. "I don't think. I know."
"Ooh, poor boy. Suffering from brain injury already. It's alright. I'll let you live your disillusionment."
Unable to take it anymore, I bite out. "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry?"
"You are acting like I didn't touch your pussy last night."

Top naval aviator Zaid Edris has weathered every storm, both in the skies and on the ground, with unwavering precision and strength. A man defined by his principles, his family has always been at the core of his existence. Recently, they've been pushing him toward marriage-something he's never given much thought to, preferring solitude and the quiet chaos of his career.
But there's one thing that could make even the most disciplined man falter: Rose Anderson. She's a relentless force of trouble, a cunning troublemaker who knows exactly how to push all his buttons and turn his world upside down. Fierce, untamable, and perpetually infuriating, Rose has always been a thorn in his side.
The problem? She's his cousin.
Now, caught in the pressure of family expectations and a magnetic, stormy connection with the one woman who drives him insane, Zaid finds himself in a battle he never saw coming. And for the first time in his life, he's not sure if he's fighting for his peace-or for something much more dangerous.
