He never forgave her for leaving.

She never forgot the man she left behind.

And now his past has come back to put her in the crosshairs.

Former Navy SEAL Weston “Cowboy” Hayes has spent years outrunning the ghosts of his past—missions that went wrong, brothers he couldn’t save, enemies who don’t forget. Keeping his world small, quiet, and controlled is the only way he knows how to survive.

Until Reese Faye comes home.

After losing her job without warning, Reese has nowhere else to go but the town she swore she’d never return to. She expects awkward reunions and too many memories—not Weston, the only man she ever loved, standing in the middle of it all.

The chemistry between them is still combustible. The hurt is still raw. And the past they never resolved refuses to stay buried.

Then everything goes wrong.

And Weston is too late to stop it.

It doesn’t take long for him to realize this isn’t random—it’s personal. The kind of vengeance that doesn’t forget. The kind tied to a past he thought was buried for good.

Now, with Reese caught in the crossfire of enemies he made long ago, Weston has only one choice—go back into the darkness he fought to escape.

Because this time, it’s not just about survival.

It’s about her.

And he’ll burn everything to the ground before he lets them take her from him again.
