He’s older, grumpy, and irresistibly off-limits—until my house falls apart and I end up under his roof.

SAGE

After years of hard Hollywood hustle, I’m throwing in the towel and starting over.
A new job, a secret side hustle, and an inherited house—too bad it’s crumbling and in need of serious TLC.
But when my DIY home renovation goes sideways, the older, grumpy woodworker next door offers me a safe place to crash.
I should turn him down. Put on my big girl panties and do it myself.
Except one look at Griffin’s broad shoulders, rough hands, and salt-and-pepper temples makes me want to say yes to every bad idea I’ve ever had—like falling for my dad’s childhood best friend.
Now I’m under his roof, craving his helping hands, and trying to keep my spicy audiobook narration side gig secret.
That is… until he walks in.

GRIFFIN
Everyone tells me I’m too used to being alone, but my life is exactly as I like it.
Quiet. Well-constructed. Utterly uncomplicated.
But the second Sage moves in next door, the curvy, clever, and completely off-limits woman sends alarm bells ringing through my whole system.
She’s too young. Too tempting. And I’m old enough to know better.
I shouldn’t want her. Definitely shouldn’t touch her.
But the more time she spends in my house, the easier it is for her to slot into my heart.
So, when I catch her moaning my name into her mic, all bets are off.
It doesn’t matter who her father is, I won't walk away from the one woman who makes me want forever.
