A one-night stand with the hot Navy SEAL, then he disappears for 10 years to reappear and turn my life upside down.
In the shadowy depths of the Navy, I was just a lowly enlistee until one searing night with Jensen Lucky - an enigmatic, unbreakable Navy SEAL.
Our connection blazed with an intensity that branded itself onto my soul.
But with the cruelty of dawn, he vanished, and I was certain our paths would never cross again.
For a decade, I carried the torch of my secret love, certain it would forever remain unrequited.
Until the day I took a civilian job at a military base, and there he was - my Jensen - orders thrusting us back together in a twist fate must have savored.
One look into those eyes, and the wound he'd left sluggishly bleeding for years was torn open anew.
He'd changed, hardened by a past I could barely fathom. But our bond was inescapable, fated - igniting anew with every heated glance, every heated breath intermingled.
Duty and desire chained us together, forcing us to confront the dizzying depths of our emotions head-on.
Do I let destiny sweep him from my life again, or reach out and seize the love that had scorched me from the inside out for a decade.
