Officer Miguel Reyes was supposed to arrest the break–in suspect, not taste him. One kiss in a rain-soaked alley should have been a mistake he buried, a moment swallowed by paperwork and routine patrols. Instead it follows him everywhere, playing in the dark behind his eyes, in every slow breath, every sleepless night.
When the criminal returns, quiet and dangerous beneath the old rail bridge, Miguel comes alone, badge hidden and cuffs in his pocket. They collide again, mouths hungry, hands gripping, a second kiss deeper than either of them planned. No witnesses. No shame. Just heat neither man can forget.
He could arrest him. He could walk away.
Instead Luca gives him a number… and a promise Miguel isn’t sure he’s strong enough to refuse.
Rose Thorne writes stories where longing turns dangerous, pleasure hides in plain sight, and surrender is just the beginning.
Her characters chase what they shouldn't want, and find everything they never knew they needed. With heat, heart, and just the right edge of darkness, Rose explores the kinds of desires we don’t always dare to name.
