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.

Ever since the world fell apart, I've been like a princess trapped in a tower, looking down at our chaotic new reality from an upstairs window and never allowed to risk the dangers outside.

Maybe I want more than a transactional relationship, but the world after Impact doesn't allow for romantic daydreams.

Even from a young age, Owen knew his future would be a mostly solitary existence with a few brief encounters, one of which might one day result in a cub he would never watch grow and never bond with.

I will do anything for my family, and as the heir to the Campisi Mafia throne, I fall on my sword and do what's expected of me—it wasn't an accident that I was given the name King. I marry the girl I love—who's already in love with someone else, and because I'm a masochist, I make him her personal bodyguard. After all, who better to protect the woman I love than the man she loves? I have seven days after our wedding to own her—body and soul. Seven days to show her everything I feel.

I have one task . . . to steal the dragon lord's magic. Simple. First problem: I'm inexperienced. Second problem: I have to sleep with him to get his abilities. (I probably should've led with that.)

Except there are times when I think the savage is more of a danger than the master I left behind. It's not just his threats I fear, but his gentle touches and piercing glances.

I should know better than to trust a bunch of pretty faces. The charmer: killing me with his hot Irish accent. The rebel: giving his rich family the middle finger. The single dad: raising his baby alone. The nerd: always with his nose stuck in a book.
