About this listen
I left Salt Springs thinking it was for the best. Walking away from Jessica Andrews and the life we could’ve had was my biggest mistake. Now, years later, I’m back—and so is she. Except this time, she’s a single mom, and the danger around her is impossible to ignore.
When a late-night call brings me face-to-face with Jessica, her green eyes full of panic and her ex’s threats echoing in my ears, all the reasons I left disappear.
Protecting her isn’t just my job—it’s my obsession. And moving her into my family’s lakefront vacation house to keep her and her teenage son safe? That’s just the beginning.
The tension between us is electric, crackling with every shared glance and accidental brush of skin. The chemistry we buried years ago roars back to life, stronger and more uncontrollable than ever. But Jessica has walls around her heart, and I have demons of my own.
As her ex’s threats escalate, the fire between us becomes impossible to ignore, and I realize I’ll do anything to claim her—for good this time. But when danger comes knocking, will the love we’re rekindling survive, or will it burn us both to the ground?

Story
**#1 Author in Amazon Hot New Releases** He’s the rugged forest ranger whose sturdy presence has always loomed like the mountains themselves—solid, untouchable, and very much off-limits as my brother’s best friend. Yet here I am, ensnared by the smoldering intensity in his gaze that rivals the wildness of the terrain we tread. Our worlds clash in a sultry symphony of resistance and unspoken yearning. His cool, controlled exterior contrasts sharply with the tempest of notes and dreams stirring within me, every brush of his skin against mine a tantalizing reminder of forbidden desires. ...

Sleeping with the enemy was my first mistake. Falling for her was the second. Evan The first time I saw Juliette Lawson, I knew she was trouble. Not the kind you run from. The kind you chase—knowing she’ll burn you alive. Smart. Sexy. A legal assassin in heels. I didn’t know she had a plan. That she was using me. And I sure as hell didn’t see it coming— The moment she’d tear my world apart. Because I fell for her first. And now? I might not survive her truth. Juliette Evan Sinclair is everything I should hate. Sinfully handsome. Recklessly rich. I didn’t know who he was—not ...

He immediately knows she's the one. But what if she's not yet ready for her happily ever after? When my boss sends me to check on one of our rental cabins, I never expect to find a naked mountain man inside. Fully naked. And he doesn't even seem to be bothered that I'm standing in his living room. Turns out, I'm in the wrong cabin. But on my way out, I issue an invitation for him to join me at the lodge for drinks after work. Much to my surprise, he takes me up on it. And the more time I spend around him, the more I like him. The problem is, I don't want anything serious anytime soon. I'm ...
