Collateral Attraction. | Leon S. Kennedy

I didn't ask to be involved.

Wrong place. Wrong time. That's all it took to end up on Leon S. Kennedy's radar... and once you're there, you don't just disappear.

At first, it's just questions. Just a case.

Until it isn't.

Now I'm a target. And staying alive means staying close to him.. inside his space, under his rules, where "temporary" starts to feel like something else entirely.

He's observant. Controlled. Annoyingly hard to read.

The kind of man who notices everything... including me.

I push.
He pushes back harder.

I deflect with sarcasm.
He calls me out on it.

And somewhere between close calls, late nights, and being a little too comfortable in his apartment... the lines start to blur.

This wasn't supposed to be anything more than survival.

So why does it feel like I'm the one losing control?

And why does he look at me like I'm something he shouldn't want..

...but isn't walking away from?

-
Mature because of blood and gun violence.

-

A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with tension, forced proximity, and a man who definitely should walk away... but doesn't.
