JORDAN
He welcomed me when I had nowhere else to go. He didn't take advantage of me, he didn't hurt me, and he didn't neglect me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees who I truly am. I can feel his gaze on me during breakfast, and my heart races when I hear him returning home from work.

    Unfortunately, nothing like the author's other books. I am surprised by the reviews here. Sloppily written, superficial, rushed, completely childish. It was written just for the sake of it. I am not focusing on the story or its forbidden aspect. I am focusing purely on the way the characters and their (supposed) feelings are portrayed. Like the old romance novels from the kiosk. No depth in characters, very poor descriptions, nonexistent emotion, it doesn't convince you at all. A cash grab. You finish the book and forget you ever read it. What a pity. I do not recommend it.

Description & Specifications

JORDAN
He welcomed me when I had nowhere else to go. He didn't take advantage of me, he didn't hurt me, and he didn't neglect me. He listens to me, protects me, and sees who I truly am. I can feel his gaze on me during breakfast, and my heart races when I hear him returning home from work.

I have to stop this. This can't happen.
My sister once told me that there are no good men and that if you find one, he is probably unavailable. Only in this case, it's not Pike Lawson who is unavailable. I am.

PIKE
I took her in because I thought I was helping. But as the days go by, it becomes increasingly difficult. I have to stop thinking about her and stop holding my breath every time I see her at home. I can't touch her, and I shouldn't even want to.

We are not free to give in to this. She is nineteen, and I am thirty-eight.
And her boyfriend's father.
The worst part? We both just moved into my house.
