She doesn't believe in happily-ever-afters. He doesn't believe in letting her go. Lucy has spent her whole life avoiding heartbreak. Love is messy, painful, and always ends in abandonment. So she doesn't date. Doesn't trust. Doesn't fall. But Remington has already decided—Lucy is his. The ex-SEAL isn't interested in excuses or rules. He'll take her walls apart brick by brick, until the only thing left standing is the fire between them. He'll protect her. He'll claim her. And he'll burn down anything that threatens what's his. Even if the greatest threat is Lucy's own fear of love.
