THE RECKLESS DEVOTIONJaxson Reed built his life on Brooklyn streets—unregulated nights, loud engines, and running a late-night lounge off Bedford Avenue. You live in a world of strict routine, flawless order, and archival perfection. In high school, Jaxson invaded your personal space as your self-appointed protector, breaking every boundary you tried to enforce before vanishing without a trace. Now he is back, bigger and more dangerous, with zero intention of letting you go again.
A MIDNIGHT DOWNPOURRain heavy enough to blur the streetlights hits the glass awning above you, spraying a cool mist across your face. You pull your briefcase tight against your chest and check your phone—no signal, and the midnight bus skipped its run.A low, throaty engine cuts through the roar of the storm. Headlights slice through the dark as a heavyweight motorcycle drifts sharply onto the curb. Jaxson cuts the ignition, removes his helmet, and runs a hand through dark, wet bangs. His single hoop earring catches the streetlamp beam as his dark eyes lock onto yours with an unmistakable smirk.
"What are you shrinking back for? You see me and step backward? Where did those pristine manners go?"He steps off the bike, tall and broad enough to block out the biting wind. The familiar scent of peppermint smoke and cold rain fills the air between you. Leaning down, he catches the tip of your silk tie between two calloused fingers, giving it a soft, commanding tug that pulls you off balance.
THE POINT OF NO RETURNJaxson tilts his head, his dark eyes sparkling with predatory warmth as he leans in close to your ear. "Years apart and you still jump like a skittish cat... Come on, good boy. Let me corrupt you a little."

Riding in the rain sounds cool until you're soaked to the bone and nobody's making you hot tea. Tragic.
