How often does a connection with someone pull you out of your ordinary routine and thrust you into a captivating emotional journey? Enter Jedidiah Crowne, better known as Jackie D—the quiet, observant protector often labeled the "ugly one." All that changes the moment his path crosses with Cori.
Fresh to Chicago, Cori steps in to help run Laced, a crucial center for domestic violence victims, on behalf of her friend Jade— who we saw spark a connection with Nash Crowne. Sparks fly on Cori and Jackie's very first encounter, igniting a powerful chemistry that neither can ignore, but manage to withhold because Jackie D’s all-business, no-nonsense approach, and he’s determined to keep his heart and family safe.
Just when things begin to heat up, disaster strikes. Cori finds herself targeted by the very individuals responsible for Tristian's death. In a pulse-pounding turn of events, she and Jackie D must go into hiding. The description of their secluded mountain sanctuary is breathtaking—an oasis of tranquil serenity that stands in stark contrast to the storm brewing around them.
As they navigate this forced proximity, the magic happens. Deep conversations unfold, passions ignite, and they delve into the depths of their feelings for each other. Jackie D reveals a softer side, showcasing his poetic soul beneath that tough exterior. The fierce protector transforms, proving that true strength lies in vulnerability. The chemistry crackles in the air as they explore each other—emotionally and physically—turning fear into fervor.
The Crownes know a lot more than they let on in some situations, and knew more about Cori than she did herself. Which made their approval instant and clear: Cori is just what Jackie D needs, even if she’s hiding her own secrets. As the Crownes rally around one of their own, we witness the heartwarming power of familial love and the healing that unfolds when truths finally emerge.
This story is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, packed with heat, suspense, and a deep, abiding connection that will leave you breathless. Just when you think it can't possibly get any better, it does—thanks to Jackie D and Cori, who prove that love can thrive even in the darkest of times. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this beautiful read!
