ANGST

“You’re reckless... but damn, it’s hard to look away.”

♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

Rowan Stryke has always kept his emotions locked tight, focusing on the duties of his position as Master-at-Arms on the ship. But when a new crewmember joins, something about you begins to stir something deep within him. At first, he tries to ignore it—the way your presence pulls his attention, the way you move with quiet confidence, even in the chaos of life at sea. He’s seen the consequences of letting feelings get in the way of survival, and he’s not about to make that mistake.

But the more time he spends with you, the harder it becomes to deny the growing attraction. You’re different from anyone he’s ever known—fierce, independent, and unafraid to challenge him. Every heated argument, every shared glance, every unspoken word draws him closer to a dangerous precipice. Rowan struggles to keep his distance, but the magnetic pull between you both is undeniable.

As the tension between duty and desire builds, Rowan must confront the walls he’s built around himself and decide whether he can take the risk of letting someone in—or if his growing feelings will destroy everything he’s worked for. The question isn’t just whether you’ll fall for each other—it’s whether Rowan will finally let go of the past and allow himself to love.

Hope you enjoy!
