Sol Kelley believes in two things, himself and magic. He doesn’t make mistakes. He doesn’t have regrets. He see’s a problem, he deals with it. Convincingly. Some people think that makes him an asshole. Sol thinks it makes him expedient.
When the magic goes perversely wrong, Sol has no choice but to resort to extreme measures. Blowing up his boat while he was still on it sounded like a good idea at the time. He should be dead. But magic always comes with a price, and when he wakes up blind in Farron Akers’ bed, a girl whose face he can’t remember, he finds himself needing a place to lay low and regroup. It doesn’t take long for Farron’s fiery touch and fallen-angel voice to tempt him into doing naughty things.
Too bad he swore not to touch her. Too bad his sordid past has a nasty habit of catching up with him. And when it does, Farron is stuck in the middle, and Sol will use everything in his arsenal to get her back. Or die trying.

And girls? He’s sworn off those. But Jeb can’t refuse a damsel in distress, and he soon finds himself torn between a girl he once saved and a woman who isn’t at all what she seems.
Only one has the power to heal his soul.
Until his enemy strikes again, forcing a face-to-face with his demon. Revenge is finally within reach. But the cost might be too high if it means telling the truth.
One of my dad's favorite sayings is, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Well, Jamie Jacobs happened. Jamie was, and always would be, forbidden fruit. Besides being four years older than me, he was the newest recruit of my dad's experimental team. Jamie was also the experimental part of the team. Meaning he wasn't exactly human. He was amazingly more than human. What better person to recruit to be on a SEAL-type team than someone who was literally born to be in the water?
Some people go their whole lives and never know love. I knew it at sixteen. While I didn't know Jamie forever, I knew him long enough that he changed me. He didn't mean to break my heart. He didn't mean to crush my dreams, but he did. And if I had it to do all over again, I would. I absolutely would.
This is our story. Because I never want to forget.
