I had a five-year plan. She ruined it with a single kiss.
A slow-burn, second-chance beach romance.

The Coast Guard was supposed to be my future -- discipline, duty, and the men who had become my brothers.

Then Ava Abrams crashes into my life.

She's a reckless, free-spirited musician with a voice that steals the air from my chest and a past she refuses to talk about.

She needs a safe place to land, and I can't turn her away, even if keeping my distance would be smarter.

One kiss changes everything.

Suddenly, protecting Ava matters more than the life I planned.

When the past she tried to escape catches up to her, she runs.

Four years later, I walk into a bar and hear a voice I know instantly. Ava.

The girl who broke my heart. The woman I never stopped loving.

But the past that drove her away is still waiting.

And loving her this time might destroy us both.
