I wasn't supposed to have him. But now I can't let him go.

Bryson

I shouldn't want him. Not when he's my best friend's father. Not when one mistake could destroy the only friendship I can't afford to lose.

But one look from Cole shatters every line I swore I wouldn't cross. He sees me in ways no one else ever has—like I matter. Like I'm his. Giving in will cost me everything. So why do I keep coming back for more?

Cole

I should stay away. I built a life around protecting my son and my business. Risking it all for Bryson is reckless and wrong. But the moment he walks into my life again, I'm addicted. I can't stop touching him, even though each stolen kiss drags us closer to the truth that could ruin us both.

We're playing a dangerous game, pretending we can keep this secret. But secrets never stay buried. And when the truth comes out, it won't just destroy us . . . it'll destroy everything.
