Not all love stories have happy endings. Some are destined to crash and burn.

As the youngest, I’ve been sheltered and protected by my older brother and . . . him. The one man I’ve always loved but could never have. Cooper Sinclair. A Navy SEAL who owns my heart and has since the day we met.

But he’s never really seen me.

Just when I’ve finally accepted we can never be more, he storms back into my life, commanding my attention with a single, forbidden touch. Loving him is easy. But time is never on our side, and stolen moments only last so long.

I always thought we were worth the risk. But now, I’m terrified we’ll go down in flames.
