I swore I'd never fall for my dad's best friend—so how did I end up living under his roof?
I back in Willow Creek with nothing but a broken heart, a dead car, and the kind of shame you don’t talk about.
And the man who finds me on the side of the road is Ethan Cole—my dad’s best friend, the one who taught me algebra and carried me home when I scraped my knees.
He shouldn’t make my pulse trip.
He shouldn’t make my breath catch.
But he does.
When my rental floods and my ex starts circling, Ethan insists I stay in his home.
One night under his roof turns into more, and suddenly I’m waking up to his coffee, his voice, and the way he watches me with raw, undeniable wanting.
The way his hands linger a second too long.
The way that kiss nearly ruins us both.
.
I should be terrified of wanting him.
But the truth is worse:
If he walks away—I don’t know how I’ll survive losing him.
