"I'm not trying to date you, idiot. I just need you to shut up and fuck me."

The words were meant to be a shield, but to a man like Kane, they were an invitation. He doesn't do "complicated." He doesn't do "emotional."

In the heavy silence of his cabin, the bickering stops and the adrenaline takes over. With a low, predatory growl and hands that command her body to surrender, Kane makes one thing clear: "Just remember, you begged me for this."

She promised him nothing would change. She promised she wouldn't be "weird" about the marks he left or the way he read her body like a map. But as the sun rises over the valley, the secret they share is a ticking time bomb. In a town where everyone knows your business, how long can you play the enemy with a man whose touch is still buzzing under your skin?
