Breakwater Rush Team Cali Book

I’m a marine biologist. A scientist. A woman who lives for data, logic, and the deep silence of the ocean. Not danger. Not men like Zach Reed—too bold, too broken, too sure of himself.From the moment I met him at the La Jolla dive club, we’ve been circling each other like predators. He’s infuriating. Beautiful. The kind of man who doesn’t just walk into a room—he takes it. And I wanted nothing to do with him.Until the day we stumbled on something we weren’t supposed to see.Until the guns came out and the bodies started dropping.Until the cartel put my name on their list.Now Zach’s the only one standing between me and a bullet.He’s moved into my house. Taken over my life. And somehow, beneath all that armor, he’s undoing me. I hate how he makes me feel—vulnerable, wanted, safe. Like I’m not just someone to protect… but someone to fight for.I’ve spent my whole life building walls. Zach Reed tears through them like they’re nothing.And maybe—just maybe—I’m starting to hope he never stops.
