The last thing ATCOM agent Brendan Devayne wants is to settle down.

Life on the edge is where he thrives—adrenaline, danger, and no strings. But during a rare break in Hawaii, rescuing a teen from a reckless cliff dive wasn't on his itinerary—especially not falling for the boy's fiercely protective mother. Brendan doesn't do relationships, and he definitely doesn't do families. Yet something about Mia Lawrence and her son makes him question everything he thought he wanted.

Mia's made her share of mistakes—starting with marrying the wrong man at eighteen. Now a single mom to a rebellious teenager, she's desperate to reconnect with the boy who once looked at her like a hero. A tropical vacation was supposed to help... until her son's near-death experience brings a rugged, exasperating stranger crashing into their lives. Brendan is everything she's sworn to avoid—reckless, bold, too close to the man who broke her heart. But he's also kind. Protective. And the first man to make her feel seen in years.

She knows better than to fall again...
So why does it feel so right?
