Silverfox's First Fall
(2026)(The eighth book in the Irrevocably Yours series)
A novel by Stephie Rose
Real estate. Demolition. The man who destroys things for a living—until she made me want to keep something.
She walks into a dance studio I'm scheduled to demolish—wound so tight she can't follow a single step. Shoulders up. Jaw locked. Fighting every lead like her life depends on it.
I know that armor. I wear it too.
Daphne doesn't know I own this building. Doesn't know her Tuesday nights have an expiration date. Doesn't know the block she's learning to love has my name on the wrecking order.
I should stay away.
Instead, I show up every Tuesday, pull her close, and say, "Stop counting."
For eight counts, she lets go. For eight counts, she's mine.
And I'm done.
I've spent twenty years becoming the man who takes. Now I'm the man who'd burn it all down just to keep her.
She's going to find out I'm demolishing the only place she ever let go.
I don't know if she stays.
