Story Notes

Summary

Harper Lockwyn learned early that safety was fragile. At twelve, it was stolen from her by a monster named Jonathan. What he left behind was a body that no longer felt like her own—where even the smallest touch sent her spiraling, breathless, fighting ghosts no one else could see. At eighteen, she thought she could trust Jake. He was family. When that trust shattered, it was his father—Dante Mercer—who stepped in. Shielded her. Grounded her. Became the only person who could touch her without sending her into a breakdown. Then Harper disappeared from his life. Eight years later, Dante Mercer is the formidable head coach of the New York Reapers, navigating a very public, very messy divorce—and trying to forget the girl he once swore to protect. Until New Year’s Eve brings her back. Harper is twenty-six now. Stronger. Still guarded. Dante is forty-six. Steady. Scarred. And suddenly unable to ignore the sparks igniting between them. It’s forbidden. Complicated. Dangerous in all the wrong ways. And Harper is terrified—not because she doesn’t want him… But because her body already trusts him.
