When she comes home for summer, the one man who makes her feel safe is the one she can never have-her father's best friend, Frank Castle. Older, scarred, and fiercely protective, Frank tries to keep his distance. But in the hazy heat of long summers and stolen moments, forbidden desire begins to unravel them both. A slow-burn age-gap romance thick with tension, tenderness, and dangerous temptation. TW: heavy smutt, swearing, alcohol, cheating mentioned, age gaps, sex, slight violence.

Levi has always been someone you couldn't stand. But when things take unexpected turns, shit gets complicated. --- "Listen," He moved closer and put his other hand on your waist. "I hate you. I think you're despicable. And annoying." Was he having mood-swings? "The feelings are mutual." He took his lips an inch above yours, swallowing thickly in his throat. "But when I look at these lips all I want to do is grab your face and... kiss the shit out of you," he whispered and his chest heaved up. "Are these feelings mutual too?" 'Do it,' a part of you said. 'What? No! This is Levi, goddamnit!' the other part argued. "Answer me." His lips grazed above yours for just a second. And in that second itself, your lips parted to invite him. Looks like your body wouldn't listen to the rational part of your brain. --- All Rights Reserved. I do not own any of the characters in the story.
