He was twenty-two. I was old enough to know better.

When Parker McBeth showed up on my doorstep with nothing but a duffel bag and a broken heart, I should have turned him away. After all, he isn't just any man?he's my son's best friend. The boy who grew up in my house. The boy I was never supposed to touch.

But the moment I opened the door and saw the hunger in his eyes, every rule I'd lived by shattered.

What started as a place for him to crash turned into stolen glances, lingering touches, and nights I couldn't take back. He kissed me like I was his first sin. Touched me like I was his last prayer. And when I finally let him in, it was fire?reckless, consuming, impossible to put out.

Now the secret is too big to hide. His obsession is too dangerous to ignore. And the line between wrong and irresistible has already blurred into nothing.

Everyone says I'm too old for him. That I should walk away before this destroys us both.

But Parker doesn't want to let me go.

And the truth?

Neither do I.

Perfect for fans of forbidden age-gap romance, dangerous obsession, and high-heat drama, this book will leave you breathless, addicted, and begging for more.
