Intercepted by Aleatha Romig

We said it was only a kiss. A moment. But I can’t forget her—and I don’t want to try.

Kingston
Elise Anderson was never supposed to be mine.
She’s Tarryn’s best friend, eleven years younger, and everything I shouldn’t want.
After the fire, she was living in her childhood bedroom. I offered her my guest room—temporary, safe, controlled.
Only nothing about Elise is controllable.
She’s warmth where I’m all restraint, hope where I’ve built walls.
When she left for France, I told myself it was better this way.
But every message, every letter, pulled me closer instead of setting me free.
Now she’s back, and the distance between us feels like the most dangerous thing of all.
Because this time, walking away isn’t an option.

Elise
Kingston Paradise has always been the calm in every storm—steady, distant, untouchable.
Until he wasn’t.
One kiss changed everything, and now the man I once saw as untouchable is the one I can’t stop wanting.
But my life’s already in ashes, and his is built on duty.
He deserves someone uncomplicated, not the woman still trying to find her footing.
Then the letters started—his words across an ocean, his heart in every line.
And when I came home, he was still there, waiting.
Only some fires don’t die easy.
And the truth about what caused mine might burn us both.

Dr. Kingston is a standalone romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. It’s the fifth book in the Brothers Paradise series and continues the saga of the Paradise family and their rivals. You can start here—but once you meet Kingston, you’ll want to know them all.
