He’s a city boy. I’m a country girl. He’s experienced, and I’m well, not.
Some days it feels like I’m the last virgin left in the world. We shouldn’t mix. So why do I feel like I’ve found the one person to finally give it up to?
Finding the right guy isn’t easy. Especially when you know everyone and their history in your small town.
I’ve all but given up on the one when I crash—in the worst possible way—into the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on.
He’s a writer without a story, looking for inspiration. And might just be what I’m looking for.
All the attraction in the world means nothing. Our lives don’t fit. I want nothing more than to give him all of me, but what if I’m only his temporary muse, only to be burned again?
Can I give this man everything, or will he take it and run?
🌾 Small town romance
⏳ Age gap
🏫 New student’s father
🚫 Forbidden romance
💘 She falls first, he falls harder
Author’s Note: This deliciously scandalous, small-town, single dad standalone includes steamy times in front of a kitchen sink, a hot new use for a chocolate ice cream cone, and an alpha cinnamon-roll hero who’s very good with his hands.

After a risky affair cost me my self-respect, my credibility, and almost my job, I jump at the guidance counselor position that opens up in Uncle Keith’s small town. He’s the only father I’ve ever really known and the one I can turn to—even when I can’t tell him why.
No one here knows what a mess I am, and this clean slate seems perfect. At least until I run into my old crush, who’s only gotten better looking with age.
I won’t be another man’s dirty little secret, even if that crush I had as a teenager blossomed into something much more—something I can’t face.
Reasons Why Absolutely Nothing Can Happen Between Us:
1.Jake is the single dad of one of my new students.
2.Age gap. Age gap. Age gap.
3. He’s my uncle’s best friend.
Jake
I didn’t realize the curvy brunette I flirted with outside my son’s school was my buddy’s sweet, shy niece, all grown-up now. I know better than to get involved.
My marriage crumbled, leaving me and my son with damage we’re still repairing. The last thing I need is to start something with someone fourteen years younger. Did I mention she’s the police chief’s surrogate daughter?
I’m old enough to know better, but I can’t keep my hands off her. I never expected to fall this hard. Even though it’s all wrong, nothing has ever felt this right.
