Captivated by His Bold Intentions
(2025)(The second book in the Off-Limits Temptations series)
A novel by Jess Winters
He saved her from the fire—but can he survive the heat between them?
Ruth Holmes just watched her dreams burn to ash. Her art studio—gone in one night. Her future—shattered. With nothing left, she flees to her brother’s quiet town, trading canvas and color for diner shifts and second chances.
The last thing she expects is him.
Leon Boone. All brawn and brooding silence. The town’s off-limits firefighter with a past he won’t talk about and a stare that leaves her breathless. He’s her brother’s best friend. Grumpy. Off-limits. But when their paths collide, so do their hearts—and their bodies.
He’s fire. She’s gasoline. And every stolen glance, every brush of skin, threatens to ignite a blaze neither of them are ready for.
But Ruth has a choice to make—chase her comeback or fall for a man who could ruin everything. And Leon? He made a vow never to love again. But Ruth? She’s testing every wall he built to keep his heart caged.
One secret kiss. One forbidden vow. And a passion that could turn their world to ash.
Captivated by His Bold Intention is a steamy, emotional ride full of sizzling chemistry, emotional scars, and a love too intense to deny. Get ready to burn.
