As Gunner pushes forward on his mission, Aria pushes back on the walls he’s built, revealing strength he didn’t expect and a fire he can’t resist. Together, they test limits and blur lines, discovering that the spark neither of them wants may be the one they need. And as heat turns into something harder to hide, both begin to wonder: what if the most dangerous fight… is falling for each other?

“I thought I was the crazy one. Now I think I’m the only sane one in this entire fucking town. I’m leaving!”

Jedson didn’t want Juno. He’d been rejected once before and vowed never to be that vulnerable again. Juno had no idea she would land in a remote area when she jumped into the boxcar to get away from her assailant.

“You appear to be in my territory, little wolf.” He is exceedingly beautiful, but his expression chills me to the core.
