The Gunner by Jack Flynn

I came to Charleston for a girls’ trip.

For fruity drinks, loud music, and a break from a life I no longer wanted but didn’t know how to leave.

I didn’t come looking for answers.

And I definitely didn’t come looking for him.

I was at a crossroads, quietly unraveling. I had done everything right—earned the degrees, followed the plan, built a future that was supposed to make sense. But the closer I got to it, the more I realized I didn’t want it.

Charleston was supposed to be an escape.

Instead, it became a reckoning.

Because some men don’t just walk back into your life.

They detonate.

He was everything I remembered and nothing I expected. Harder. Quieter. Built like a man who had survived things most people never see and learned how to carry them without flinching. The kind of man who didn’t flirt. Didn’t chase. Didn’t ask.

He watched.

He decided.

And once he did, there was no pretending I could go back.

The Gunner is a dark romance with obsessive, possessive themes. It’s the fifteenth in the Dominion Hall series but can be read as a standalone.

Warning: This book contains a morally gray antihero, explicit sexual content, and profanity. Recommended for 18+.
