A simple kiss with a beautiful stranger becomes so much more…

Over a decade ago, I laid my bat aside and walked away from the Majors with no regrets.
Being a Marine was in my blood.
My code is simple: Discipline, Control, Protection—words I live by.
Which is why, the night a fiery woman approaches me to help her friend, I’m all in.
The emerald-eyed beauty across the room awakens my protective instincts.
It started with harmless flirting.
Until the moment my lips crossed hers and everything changed.
In an instant, she runs, leaving me without a word.

As it turns out, luck is on my side.
It doesn’t take long to find Willow Richards, and this time she’s not getting away.
Willow denies our connection.
She calls me a daredevil.
An adrenaline—fueled junkie who thrives on danger and has no place in her controlled world.
From the ball field to the battlefield, I thrive on challenge.
Breaking through her walls turns out to be my biggest obstacle yet.
When the façade she’s living implodes, exposing the betrayal she’s buried, my purpose becomes her happiness.
Just as things fall into place, my past collides with my future, threatening every promise I’ve made.
But one thing is certain, Willow Richards is mine.
And I will scorch the earth before anyone hurts her again.
Including myself. All she has to do is trust me…
My name is Talon Simms.
I’ve waited a lifetime for this woman. I’m not losing her now

PROLOGUE

TALON

“Shots! Shots!”

A group chants around two men tossing back the amber liquid.

“Fucking amateurs, you think these idiots ever actually won a softball game before tonight?” Ace and Harley walk up.

“Talon hit the winning home run; they should buy him shots. He’s the hero of the day.” Harley winks at me.

“It was a fucking loose pitch. He got lucky,” Ace complains.

“Aww, you jealous? You know that hit was legit. Knocked that shit right out of the park, probably into the next zip code.” I project my arms wide.

One thing is for sure. Out of the four of us, Ace has a fierce competitive streak. He’d take a bullet in a milli-second, but when it comes to being outshined, he’s a piss-poor loser.

“Don’t be hard on yourself. Your hit in the fourth inning was solid.”

Ford and Major chuckle while Ace’s eyes heat.

“Please don’t antagonize him. He was finally getting over his grouchiness.” Harley’s grin is laced with amusement.

“Sure thing, Jay. Let’s get the grump a consolation beer for being the second-best player tonight.”

She pops me in the arm. “The four of you were equally outstanding.”

I flinch, pretending to wince. “Why the violence? What will the baby think?”

Ace looks at his wife adoringly. “Good job, baby.”

“You rookies going to sit down before I have a riot on my hands for holding your section?” Tom, the owner, yells from the far end of the bar.

“Let’s get you some food.” Ace guides Harley to our reserved section.

“Jewls and Rowan are fifteen minutes out,” Major announces, reading his phone. “The boys are asleep.”

“Being the center of attention is exhausting.”

“Now who’s jealous? You scared they stole your spotlight?” He flashes a picture of his twins in Jewls’ arms wearing identical Metro Nashville Police Department outfits.

“Not jealous, no better guys to lose the spotlight to. Can’t deny they have game.”

Major’s lips curl and he dips his chin. “Damn right.”

“And Jewls seems to have an audience, too.”

His lips shift to a sneer. “She and I will talk about that tonight. The woman can’t help herself.”

I enjoy his irritation as much as Ace. They make it too easy. “Try not to knock her up again.”

“Not my plan, but once you get the fever you’ll understand.”

“God, help us,” I say to the ceiling.

“You’ll get it one day, too. The last to fall.”

“Pretty sure you dumb fuckers got the best of the lot.” I glance back to find Ace hovering over Jay with his hand on her stomach.

My best friends, brothers in bond, the finest men I know.

They’re also fucking idiots for wasting time with the finest women I’ve ever met.

A shard of pain stabs my shoulder and I clench my teeth to keep from flinching.

“Order me a beer, be back.” I take off in the other direction without explanation and bypass the line waiting for the bathroom.

“What the fu—” The man shuts his mouth, recognizing me, and steps aside.

I pull my shirt halfway off and inspect my shoulder. “Goddammit.” The bruising has already formed and the muscles tick against my fingertips.

“Better not let Rowan see that.” Ford’s eyes lock on mine in the mirror.

“Did you follow me?”

“Knew something was off when Jay gave you the sucker punch.”

“It’s nothing.”

“Bullshit, how bad is the pain?” He presses the tender spot near the socket.

“Zero,” I lie.

“You had to be a show-off, sliding into the base.”

“Hey, gotta give the fans a show.”

“Wanna head out and take a pain pill?”

“Fuck no.” Last time I was in the hospital, they kept me so doped up I was high for a week after.

“No shame in being human.”

“You want to go home and take a pain pill?”

“Not taking a pain pill, but if it gets Rowan in bed sooner, then I’m game.”

I adjust my shirt and shake my head. “You want to use me as your wingman to get laid? Didn’t we pass that stage, considering you have a ring on her finger?”

“She has a soft spot for you. If I play it up, it moves things along.”

“Jesus Christ, at least buy her a drink first. Don’t you have any respect for your lady?”

His grin falters and he eyes my shoulder again. “Seriously, man, no shame. You’re hurt, we leave.”

“I’m good. Or at least I will be once you buy me a beer and a celebratory shot. None of the cheap shit either.”

He follows me out, and we’re stopped by a petite blonde woman who’s flailing her hands in the air wildly. She grabs my elbow, yanking me around the corner.

“I don’t have much time. Are you gay?”

Ford lets out a loud snort and I shoot him a glare before answering, “No.”

“Are you here with someone?”

“I’m here with a lot of people.”

“Are you a cop?”

“Yes.”

She chews on her bottom lip, assessing me closely. I cast a glance over to see if anything seems off. “Are you in trouble? Is someone bothering you?”

PROLOGUE

One Month Ago

FORD

“Dude, you’re being a dud.”

I lower my eyes to Addie, who’s dancing in place with a full glass of wine. My other sister, Carson, joins in, hip-bumping her and sending the liquid splashing.

“Try to behave yourselves. This isn’t a frat social.”

“Blah, blah, blah… When did you start acting like Dad?”

“When you two began acting like fools.”

“It’s a wedding, Ford. A par-tee. Let loose, have fun, and enjoy the union of your best friends.”

“I’m enjoying myself plenty.” I sip my bourbon, scanning the area.

Ace and Harley are back on the dance floor, swaying slowly, even though it’s an upbeat song. He’s staring at her like she’s the only wonder of the world. In their own little sphere, blocking out the hundreds of people here to celebrate them.

My eyes coast over the dance floor to the high-top table on the edge of the patio. More so, to the blonde standing there sipping champagne, watching the crowd.

Rowan Ellis.

Shy, sweet, selfless, and absolutely stunning.

Her expression is reflective, sadness haunting her baby-blue eyes.

Completely opposite of the woman who was cheering and laughing uncontrollably an hour ago. That woman was happy and carefree.

This woman is retreating into herself.

My pulse races and the familiar burn boils low in my gut.

If I could go back in time, I’d kill the motherfucker who hurt her.

“You should ask her to dance,” Addie suggests cheerily.

“I don’t dance.”

“Well then, prance your surly, stubborn ass over and talk to her.”

“I don’t prance either.”

“Seriously, Ford. Go talk to her.”

“She’s with her parents.”

“So, go talk to them, too. Jesus, it’s exhausting dealing with you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You’d have to be blind not to see the heat between Rowan and you.”

“She just got out of a relationship.”

“Her relationship ended eons ago, and it was a hoax. That guy was nothing to her.”

“She told you that?” I raise an eyebrow, wondering how much my sisters know.

“Yes, she also said—”

“Addie!” Carson cuts her off. “Ford needs to talk to her himself. We’re not doing the work for him.”

“You don’t think it makes me a dick to hit on her after the shit she just went through?”

“Do you hear yourself? She got through it. Rowan’s strong, Ford. She’s resilient and brilliant. Some dickwad of nuclear proportions isn’t knocking her down.”

“I know she’s strong, Carson. But you didn’t see what I saw. She needs time.”

“Time… yeah. That’s what she needs. You deserve to lose your shot.”

Her words sting, hitting close to home.

“Enjoy grinding your teeth and sipping your bourbon. I’m relishing in this fabulous reception.” Addie floats off.

“Seriously, Ford. Look around. Ace and Harley. Major and Jewls. Rowan could be your chance for all this.” Carson gestures around us.

“Don’t need all this, just her.”

“Finally, he admits it.” She jumps in a circle with her hands waving triumphantly.

The movement gets Rowan’s attention, her eyes meeting mine. The desolation fades slightly as she gives me a small smile.

My gut burns for a different reason.

So fucking beautiful.

“My work here is done. I’m claiming my victory and leaving the rest to you.”

I don’t tear my gaze away from Rowan—memorizing the way her eyes sparkle, the way the tip of her tongue darts across her lip before she pulls it between her teeth, the blush creeping up her neck.

All of it tempting and torturous.

She has no idea how enticing and incredible she is.

A guy steps up beside her, diverting her attention, and breaking our trance.

Would you like to dance?

I make out his words and my blood pressure spikes. Who the hell is this fucker?

Talon swoops in, taking her hand and whisking her to the dance floor. She laughs, the melodic sound making its way straight to my chest.

“He will not save the day forever.” Ace appears at my side, Major flanking the other.

My two friends are here for the same reason as my sisters.

“I can't control who she dances with.”

“No, but the poor guy works with Harley and has no clue she’s taken. Don’t want any bloodshed today.”

“I’m not sure Rowan knows she’s taken,” Major adds.

“You two enjoying this?”

“As much as I like to see you sweat, she will not wait around forever.”

Prologue

3 ½ Years Ago

Major

I could get used to this.

My eyes move across the distance, taking in the rolling hills, the dimming light in the sky, and the valley of natural landscape.

It’s more than the scenery; it’s the uninhibited space.

Something I haven’t had in years.

“Sunsets in Nashville are unlike anything in the world.” Jewls sidles up beside me, offering a beer. “Figured you weren’t the ‘light beer’ type of guy, so I brought the good stuff.”

“You’d be right.” I swallow the cold brew, enjoying the view.

“Who knows, if this graduate school thing doesn’t work out, I can fall back on bartender extraordinaire.”

“Grad school, huh? What are you studying?”

“Psychology and Behavioral Science.”

Impressive.

“What is the endgame?”

“Social Work.”

“Noble.”

Her lips curl on one side. “You mean boring.”

“Somehow, I don’t think boring is a word to describe you.”

She beams, her green eyes lighting up. “I sure as shit hope not. Life is too short to be bland and lackluster.”

I scan over her; the woman is anything but bland. If the situation was different and we weren’t standing outside of a funeral reception, Jewls would have all my attention.

She catches me checking her out, her tongue skimming across her bottom lip.

My cock stirs in my pants, and I force myself to focus back on the horizon.

Get your shit together, Powers. You’re leaving tomorrow and this woman is off-limits.

“So, tell me more about Major Powers.” She bumps my shoulder playfully.

The friendly gesture somehow feels intimate.

“Not much to tell.”

“Harley talks about you guys all the time. It means a lot to her you came today. Especially Ace.”

I glance over my shoulder, finding Talon, Ford, and Ace in a conversation with Harley’s dad, Rich. My eyes follow Ace’s line of sight a few feet away, where Harley is talking with an older couple.

The stupid ass thinks he’s sly, but one look and it’s clear how he feels.

“Harley needed him,” is all I say, hoping it explains.

When he got the call her grandfather had died, he was on the move.

Marines, warriors, and brothers.

Achilles Kingston is as badass as they come. He, Ford, Talon, and I trained side by side, the four of us forming a bond stronger than family.

We are a unit and always will be.

Early on, we learned of Harley, and through the years formed our own distant relationships with her.

So, when the call came, we followed. That’s how we roll.

Always a unit, we have each other’s backs.

“You think they will ever stop dancing around their feelings?” Jewls doesn’t miss the way he’s watching her.

I shrug, understanding the reasons he keeps her at a distance.

“They’d make a beautiful couple. Can you imagine their children? Total knockouts.”

A gurgle bubbles in my throat at the thought of children. Especially from Ace.

“You don’t like children?” Her eyebrows scrunch adorably.

“Kids are cool. Not sure how Ace would feel about it.”

“You’re quite the conversationalist.”

“Don’t have much to say.”

It’s her turn to study me, her green orbs burning into mine as she flashes a blinding smile.

“You’re reserved, mysterious, and guarded. I can dig that. But in a few hours, when the formalities are over and the real party starts, I’m going to break through your shell.”

I want to argue that no woman has broken through in a long time. That side of me died when I joined the Corps.

But something stops me, wanting to see exactly what she has in mind.

“Don’t worry, Major, I’ll go easy on you.” She winks, strutting away.

My gaze drops to her ass, enjoying the show.

Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Talon strolling over with a shit-eating grin. “You have drool on your chin.”

I take a swig of my beer, ignoring his jab.

“Seriously, are you going for the funeral hook-up with the best friend?”

“Nope, just enjoying the scenery.”

Little did I know, before the night was over, Julianna Keller would find a way to break through my shell.

1

Major

“Powers! You have a visitor.”

My eyes scan the bullpen and land on the sassy blonde strutting my way. We make eye contact briefly before someone steps in her path. She hugs him, then puts a few feet between them.

Her smile is wide as she politely nods at whatever he’s saying. After a full minute, he hasn’t shut up.

She points at her watch, then at me, dismissing him with a light wave.

He looks my way, his expression full of confusion.

I shoot him a smug grin, then sit back to enjoy her approach.

Like everything she does, Jewls Keller doesn’t disappoint.

Her honey blonde hair is tied to the side, hanging long over her shoulder. The dress she wears is simple but hugs her curves in all the right ways. My smugness disappears when my eyes land on her pencil-thin heels that showcase her phenomenal legs.

The woman is sex on heels.

She plops on the edge of my desk, dropping her purse on my keyboard.

“Hi,” she chirps, crossing her legs.

Prologue

Almost 11 Years Ago

Achilles

“I can’t believe today’s the day.” Harley’s voice quivers.

My fingers lace with hers and squeeze lightly. “We’ve talked about this. You promised you wouldn’t cry.”

“Doesn’t change the fact that I hate it. It feels like punishment.”

“Joining the Marines isn’t punishment. It’s an honor.”

Her blue eyes are loaded with misery. “I know. It’s selfish of me. But you are my best friend. I don’t have many of those. Girls are so complicated. With you, it’s always been easy.”

“That’s because high school girls are bitches. Plain and simple. They’re jealous of you.”

Her eyes bulge in disbelief, and she makes a waving gesture up and down her body. “Jealous? Please. Look at me. There is nothing special here. My hair’s a mess most days, my style isn’t cool, and people think I’m a nerd.”

I grind my teeth at her perception of herself. My gaze roams down her body, appreciating the way her sundress highlights her curves. She’s wearing her favorite faded pink Chucks. “Your hair is pretty, your style is cool, and being smart isn’t nerdy. It’s commendable. You’ve already been awarded scholarships to two of your top colleges.”

“If there is any jealousy, it’s none of that. They’re envious of you. After prom, the rumors started you took me as your pity date. Tons of girls wanted you to ask them. That makes me think I may have coerced you into going with me.”

Fury boils in my gut. I’d heard that rumor, too, and now regret not shutting that shit down. I bring our joined hands to her cheek, running my thumb along her jaw. “Fucking bitches, Harley. Every girl in that school knows they had no chance. If it wasn’t for you, I’d have ditched the whole thing. It wasn’t coercion; it was a privilege.”

Her lips curl, and she gives me a small smile. “I’ll miss you.”

“Boot camp is no joke. But I’ll message if I can.”

“You better. Dad, Mom, and I will be at your graduation.”

“Don’t break too many hearts your senior year.”

This time, she rolls her eyes high to the sky. “Forget about that. Dad won’t let me date. You’re the only guy he ever let me go out with alone. He’s so protective.”

“Rich is wise and knows how precious you are. I understand exactly where he’s coming from.”

“Recruits! Board up!” A man in uniform barks out the order sharply.

“Do you need to say goodbye to Sandy again?”

I follow her line of sight to my mom, who is standing with Harley’s parents, Amanda and Rich. Notably absent is my father. Harley didn’t mention it, but her expression when Mom arrived alone gave away her curiosity.

She knows my home life was messed up, but she doesn’t know the extent of it. Rich and Amanda are salt of the earth, good-to-the-soul people. They may have some faults, but I doubt it. Whereas my parents, Pete and Sandy Kingston, have a lifetime of fuck-ups behind them. Dysfunction is putting it mildly.

My dad’s currently sobering up in a detox facility. Rich has promised to monitor his progress and push to keep him on track.

“Nah, Mom will start crying again and it will be awkward.”

I’ve barely turned my head when Harley lunges into me, wrapping her arms tight. She lightly pecks over my cheek, neck, and ear before whispering, “I’m so proud of you. Please be safe.”

I clear my throat, her sweet floral scent washing over me, and the skin she kissed tingling.

God, she feels good against me. The teenage boy comes alive. My cock stirs, and I bite my tongue to tame it down. “I’ll be good.”

She steps away, reaches inside her pocket, and shoves a folded piece of paper into my hand. “Don’t read this ‘til you’re gone.”

I nod.

Slowly, she backs away, not breaking eye contact until she gets to her parents. I give them all a chin jerk and shift the bag in my hand, then get on the bus.

The mood is solemn and quiet, nothing like the chatter and bustling outside. I nab a window seat and look out in time to see Harley crumble into her dad, her body rocking violently. Tears streak down Mom and Amanda’s cheeks. Rich stares back at me with a look that blows straight through me, piercing somewhere deep.

Pride, admiration, respect.

The bus drives away, and I open the note.

Achilles,

Thank you for being my friend.

Thank you for being the best, most wonderful, most loyal friend in my life.

Thank you for letting me know the incredible person you are hiding from the rest of the world.

Thank you for not embarrassing me that first day when I declared we were friends and you weren’t getting rid of me.

There are a thousand little things to thank you for, but last, I’ll say thank you for being such a good man.

All my love,

Harley

A knot coils tight in my stomach, and my heart thunders in my chest.
