I ran from a man who almost destroyed me.
Now I’m falling for one who makes me feel alive again.

Axel Slade was supposed to be just another customer at my café.
Flashing me that famous smile I know has broken plenty of hearts in this town.
Just a little harmless flirting over morning coffee.

Until he starts showing up every day.
Helping without being asked.
Watching me like he sees past my exhaustion and straight into my soul.
Touching me like he already knows exactly how I’ll come undone.

I don’t fall for men.
I escape them.

Since escaping my life back in Oregon, my focus is simple: keeping my daughter safe.
I don’t have room for temptation—especially not the kind that looks like Axel Slade.

He doesn’t charm me.
He wrecks me.
With his hands. With his mouth.
With the way he tears down my walls one by one…

But just when I start believing in second chances, my past comes roaring back.
Axel says he’ll fight for me… For us.
But falling in love again could cost me so much more than just a broken heart.

This time, I’m risking my baby girl.

I have to decide if I’m brave enough to stop running.
Or if some sparks are too dangerous to survive.
