Wild Heart

Chloe has one cook, save, protect the tiny world she built for her daughter. Then Jonathan Vauclain—dangerously calm, disastrously kind—kneels on wet stone to stop a four-year-old’s tears, and everything shifts. He notices the little things. He makes room at his table. He says her name like it matters.

Three weeks. Three countries. A thousand ways to forget the rules. Between rooftop dinners and dawn markets, the most reckless temptation isn’t the private jet—it’s the man who is steady where others ran, offering not a rescue, but a home.

But storms don’t care about new beginnings. Some rage at sea. Some arrive with flowers and a single, unforgivable sentence. And empires always call their kings away.

When the past bangs on her door and his world demands a choice, will Chloe risk the life she built for the love she never let herself want…or bolt the lock before she finds out?
