Alex Belmont doesn’t talk about the woman who walked away.
Not even to his closest friends.

But when he’s assigned to an undercover mission protecting a key witness in a federal investigation…
And that witness turns out to be his ex-wife—the one who disappeared without a word a few weeks after their secret Vegas wedding?

Things get complicated.

Bree is in danger, and Alex is the only one standing between her and the people who want her silenced. But keeping her safe means pretending the past never happened—pretending their marriage never mattered.

Only it did.
It still does.

Now, as secrets surface, passions reignite, and trust is tested, Alex must decide if the truth is worth the fallout… and if love can survive what comes after betrayal.

A sizzling, slow-burn, second chance romance with danger, longing, and the kind of kiss that leaves scars.
