From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the second novel in her sizzling Fusion series.
Camilla, “Cami,” LaRue was five-years-old when she first fell in love with Landon Palazzo. Everyone told her the puppy love would fade—they clearly never met Landon. When he left after graduation without a backward glance, she was heartbroken. But Cami grew up, moved on, and became part-owner of wildly popular restaurant Seduction. She has everything she could want…or so she thinks.
After spending the last twelve years as a Navy fighter pilot, Landon returns to Portland to take over the family construction business. When he catches a glimpse of little Cami LaRue, he realizes she’s not so little any more. He always had a soft spot for his little sister’s best friend, but nothing is soft now when he’s around the gorgeous restauranteur.
Landon isn’t going to pass up the chance to make the girl-next-door his. She’s never been one for romance, but he’s just the one to change her mind. Will seduction be just the name of her restaurant or will Cami let him get close enough to fulfill all her fantasies?

PROLOGUE
~Landon~
“Are you packed?” my sister, Mia,
asks through the phone. Her voice is husky with sleep, which makes sense since
it’s the middle of the night back home in Portland, Oregon.
“I leave tomorrow, Mia. Of course
I’m not packed.” She snickers. I just finished up my last debriefing meeting,
my last day as an officer in the Navy. I grip the zipper of my flight uniform
and sigh. “It’s not right.”
“I know,” she says quietly. “But
you’re safe and whole, and you could be dead, Landon, so I’ll take it.”
I frown, staring at myself in the
mirror as I unzip my uniform for the last time. I’ll never wear it again, never
pilot a plane again.
What the fuck am I supposed to do
now? The Navy gave me options, but if I can’t fly, there’s no sense in it.
Flying isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am.
“You’re overthinking,” Mia says.
“I’m a pilot, Mia. This is what I
love. It wasn’t supposed to end like this.”
“You’re alive,” she says.
“Am I?” I murmur, then shake my
head and wince at the neck pain that still nags me from time to time. Ejecting
from an F- 16 will cause a crick in the neck. And a loss of an inch in height
that may never return, along with an entire Naval career.
Son of a bitch.
“This has been the longest four
months of our lives, Landon. We’re all anxious to see you.”
“I’ll be home in a few days,” I
reply as I pull a T- shirt over my head and throw the last of my belongings in
a box that the Navy will have sent to me from Italy.
I loved being in Italy for the past
few years, and God knows I didn’t plan to leave it like this.
But I am. Maybe Mia’s right; at
least I’m alive and I can walk and live a normal life.
I just can’t fly.
And that’s what hurts more than any
injury from the crash.
“What time should I come get you
from the airport?”
“No need,” I reply, regretting
calling my sister and waking her up. I just didn’t know what else to do when I
came in here and was faced with boxes and the end of a career I love. “I’ll get
there.”
“Landon— ”
“It’s okay, really. I’ll see you in
a few days.”
“Be safe,” she says. “And, Landon?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s going to be okay.”
I force a grin and a nod, though
she can’t see either. “Of course it is.”
We say our good- byes and I sit on
the edge of the bed, scrub my hands over my face, and take a deep breath. I hope
she’s right.
