Bind and Burn

He was her first heartbreak. Now hes asking for her trust.

Luna Brandt has come home to Toronto with a plan: launch her event-planning business, build a future on her own terms, and keep her heart far away from Declan.

Then she lands the chance to plan the Toronto Tigers owners wedding—and avoiding her fathers star rugby player becomes impossible.

Declan was once the boy who lived across the hall. Her best friend. Her almost-everything. Now hes a man who commands attention on the pitch and craves control behind closed doors. And the feelings Luna spent years trying to forget return with one look.

Declan has built his life around discipline, keeping rugby and his private desires carefully separated. Luna threatens every boundary. Shes his coachs daughter, the girl he pushed away, and the one woman hes never stopped wanting.

This time, hes willing to tell her exactly who he is—and show her how good it could be to trust him.

As tentative dates give way to intimate discoveries, Luna finds herself drawn to a side of Declan she never knew. But when private desires become public gossip, their second chance faces scrutiny neither can control.

They know how much it hurts to walk away. Can they trust each other enough to stay?

Bind and Burn is a steamy second-chance rugby romance featuring the coachs daughter, a protective hero, and the vulnerability of falling for the person who already knows how to break your heart.
