She’s the queen of heartbreak.
He’s the one who got away.
Bailey Jones is known for writing happy-ever-afters. But she’s never had her own. Not since him.
Rhett Monroe was her first love. The boy who tossed her into the lake every summer. The man who walked away without a second glance.
Now he’s back — ex-Navy SEAL turned security specialist. Focused. Intense. And definitely not here for the memories.
Because someone is watching Bailey. Sending messages that feel too personal. Too obsessed.
To keep her safe, Rhett takes Bailey to the one place a stalker can’t find her — Cedar Shores. But sharing a cabin with the man she never stopped loving is a different kind of danger for Bailey. Especially when Rhett’s protective gaze follows her like she’s something worth guarding. Like she’s his.
Bailey spent her career writing men who would burn the world down for the women they love.
Turns out, she grew up with one.
