He's a military man carrying a past he can't outrun. She's a woman who has just been burned by love.
They meet by chance-at the exact moment she needs someone to step in.
One night. One connection neither of them expected. One moment that leaves them both changed.
Zane isn't looking for redemption. He wears his mistakes like scars, and by morning, he'll be gone-heading into a dangerous operation, haunted by a loss he can't undo.
She isn't looking for love. But something about him feels dangerous in all the wrong ways... and all the right ones.
When desire collides with fate, even one night can become unforgettable.
And as dawn breaks, it becomes something neither of them is prepared to walk away from.
A steamy, emotional prequel to the Island Heat series, where dangerous missions collide with irresistible attraction.
