Sable Knox is the one temptation Roman Hale was never meant to want.
Voluptuous, confident, and effortlessly seductive, Sable isn't the kind of girl men forget. Her curves make lingerie look sinful, her tiny waist and soft, full hips sway with dangerous innocence, and her thick thighs and pouty lips draw attention everywhere she goes.
She's not trying to tease anyone.
But Roman notices her more than he should.
Roman Hale is temptation in an entirely different form-older, controlled, and unfairly attractive.
At 6'4 with broad shoulders, sharp blue eyes, and salt-and-pepper hair that makes him look even more powerful, he turns heads without trying. Women his age chase him. Younger women fantasize about him.
But the only woman who gets under his skin is the one he should stay far away from:
his daughter's best friend.
Living in his mansion for the summer, Sable becomes the problem he can't escape.
Oversized shirts with nothing beneath.
Lace glimpsed through thin fabrics.
Shorts that can't handle her curves.
A stretch here, a smirk there-none of it intentional, but all of it lethal to his self-control.
Roman tries to be good.
He avoids looking.
Avoids being alone with her.
Avoids the kitchen at night, because that's when she always appears half-dressed and innocent, ruining him without trying.
But Sable sees the way his jaw tightens.
The way he swallows hard.
The way those blue eyes darken when she walks past.
She knows he's watching.
And it thrills her.
One late-night encounter ends the distance completely.
Sable steps into the kitchen in black lace and an open silk robe, and Roman freezes mid-pour.
She smiles, soft and wicked.
"You look tense," she whispers.
And in that moment, he knows he's done for.
