He was the one line she was never supposed to cross. So she crossed it on purpose.
Asia Watson has spent her whole life being someone's little sister. At twenty-three, she's done waiting for permission - to run her own PR career, to live on her own terms, and to go after the one man everybody swears is off-limits. Malachi Coleman is thirty-six, retiring at the top of his game, and her brother's teammate. He's also the only man who's ever made her feel like more than the baby of the family.
Malachi knows better. He's got a family to protect, a career winding down, and thirteen years and a loyalty oath standing between him and the woman who keeps showing up in his life like she belongs there. He tells himself no. He tells himself she's too young, too connected, too much to lose.
He holds out as long as a man can.
But Asia doesn't chase what she can't catch - and once Malachi gives in, there's no pretending this was ever a mistake either of them regrets. Now they're hiding a relationship that could blow up her brother's trust, his reputation, and the whole fragile peace of the team. One slip and everyone knows. One wrong move and they lose it all.
