Beneath the moonlit skies of Annapolis, discipline is about to surrender to desire.
Commander Gabriel Vale has built his life around honor, precision, and control. As a respected naval officer, every word he speaks has purpose-and every decision carries consequences. Then Luc a Reyes enters his world.
Beautiful, curvaceous, and quietly captivating, Luc a is an undocumented Colombian woman living with the constant fear that one encounter with immigration authorities could destroy everything. Her English is imperfect, but Gabriel understands the language in her eyes-the longing in every lingering glance, the invitation concealed within every breathless silence.
She should remain invisible.
He should keep his distance.
Instead, Gabriel becomes the man who orders for her when she is nervous, patiently teaches her unfamiliar words, and whispers Spanish against her skin. Their secret encounters grow more intimate, their kisses more desperate, and the powerful officer who has always commanded himself discovers one woman capable of bringing him to his knees.
But Gabriel's uniform represents the very government Luc a fears, and protecting her could cost him his career, his reputation, and his freedom. As immigration danger and a ruthless trafficking operation close in, every stolen touch becomes a risk-and every night together could be their last.
When duty demands that Gabriel walk away, will he obey the rules that have governed his entire life-or surrender everything to the woman whose body, heart, and love have become impossible to resist?
Beneath the Annapolis Moon is a sensual forbidden romance filled with slow-burning desire, emotional intimacy, multicultural passion, and romantic suspense.
