He was never supposed to look at me like that.
When my dad leaves for a six-month overseas contract, he asks his best friend to keep an eye on me while I go to college. Miles Parks: thirty-five, former military, criminal defense attorney—and the man I've been secretly in love with since I was fifteen.
I thought I'd buried that crush years ago.
Then I moved into his house.
Now it's just the two of us in his secluded mountain home, and Miles can barely look at me. He keeps his distance. Sets rules. Treats me like I'm still the kid he used to buy ice cream for.
But I'm not a kid anymore. And the way his jaw tightens when I walk past him in the hallway? The way his hands curl into fists when my boyfriend calls? That's not indifference.
He's been fighting this just as long as I have.
Miles has everything to lose—his career, his best friend, his reputation. I have a boyfriend who doesn't deserve me and a lifetime of believing I'm not enough for anyone to stay.
We both know this is a terrible idea.
We both know we should stop.
We both know we won't.
Edge of Control is a spicy forbidden romance featuring a dad's best friend, forced proximity, an age gap, and a possessive hero who falls first and falls hard. This is Book 1 in The Lines We Cross series. HEA guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
