He was danger in a dark T shirt and jeans.
If you hadn’t seen his dog tags, you would still know that Cal was ex military by the way he goes about his business.
I was curves and chaos—he was all control and cold command.
Working so close together behind a bar.
The accidental touches send shivers through my body.
I wanted to risk everything.
Fifteen years older, I tell myself it’s wrong to feel like this.
How can I break through the walls built from war and secrets.
All I saw was a lonely man underneath the tough exterior.
Through the storm he tried to keep me safe, but danger found me anyway, a ghost from his past seeked revenge.
Now my heart is on the line and he’s braced for a fight he might not survive.
He saved me once from darkness, but can he let my light in before it’s too late.
