Gruff, hardened ex-SEAL meets his match in a sassy art curator.

I'm Callie, art curator with a flair for the provocative and a past tangled in pleasing others. Now, I'm reclaiming my passion for art, determined to remake my mark in San Diego's art scene, one daring exhibit at a time.

He's Hunter "Razor" James, a former SEAL and co-owner of The Kill Zone, a bar that's a magnet for mercenaries and mystery. He's the embodiment of everything I've tried to steer clear of: dominant, intense, and dangerously captivating.

We were almost something in college – a tumultuous not-quite-relationship fueled by passion and art. He chose to follow his family's SEAL legacy, leaving me and our shared love of art behind.

Or so I thought.

Now, years later, I'm staging my comeback exhibit at The Kill Zone, of all places.

Thrust together to collaborate, our fiery debates about art soon reveal the undeniable chemistry that never faded, and neither of us can ignore. Hunter, with his cocky grin and protective, possessive nature, challenges me in ways no one else has.

And I... I seem to get under his skin just as much.

We start as reluctant partners, our debates about art as hot as the chemistry we're trying to ignore. But it's the moments away from the crowd, those intense, unguarded encounters, that blur the lines between professional and personal.

I meant for this collab to be strictly business, with an end date after the final exhibit. I doubled down on that intention when I discovered I was working for him. After all, he was the one who walked away before, so it was only fair that I should get to walk away this time.

And yet, here I am, drawn to him like a moth to a flame, all over again.

The storm I saw coming, but still walked right into.
