She moved onto his land.
Into his space.
Into his control.
In a quiet small town, a guarded single dad and the woman living steps from his door collide in stolen looks, charged silences, and a desire neither of them should touch. He’s built his life on restraint. She’s becoming the one temptation that threatens to break it.
Cole
I built my life around control. Around keeping my son safe, my heart locked down, my world small enough that nothing could be taken from me again. Then Sofia walked onto my land with her softness and her stubborn courage, and everything I’ve buried started clawing its way back. She’s too young, too open, too dangerous to want. But every instinct in me says protect, claim, don’t let her go. I tell myself I’m keeping her at a distance for her own good. The truth? I’m terrified of how badly I want her to stay.
Sofia
Cole is all sharp edges and silence, a man who carries loss like armor and responsibility like a weapon. He looks at me like I’m something precious and something forbidden all at once. I didn’t come here to fall for a guarded single dad with a closed heart, but my body reacts before my fear can catch up. He makes me feel safe and wanted in the same breath. And if wanting him is a mistake, it’s one I’m not sure I'''m strong enough to walk away from.
