Ocean's Hunger: Jiang Heng in Verity Falls
He doesn't heal wounds—he leaves them. Ten years ago, Ocean Jiang buried something deep in Verity Falls soil. Now he's back to dig it up, and he's not leaving without what belongs to him.
The town remembers him as the dangerous one, the wild card who disappeared after prom night. Not the gentle doctor like Dawson Reid—Ocean Jiang was always fire and friction, the kind of man who left marks on skin and souls alike. When he left without a word, taking nothing but a stolen kiss and your shattered composure, you thought you'd escaped him forever.
Now his black SUV idles outside your new bookstore, and the hunger in his eyes tells you the decade apart hasn't cooled his obsession. Ocean Jiang doesn't do second chances—he takes what he wants, and he's always wanted you.
