*inspired by Jon Bernthal* Everything becomes complicated for River Sharma, a 21 year old small-town girl, when she becomes attracted to her boyfriend's father. And she has a feeling he knows... In order to move forward, she must face the consequences of her teenage decisions.

Returning home for the summer was supposed to be a chance to relax before her final year of college. Instead, Y/N is forced under the same roof as Frank Castle-her dad's longtime best friend and the man who used to babysit her. Eight years have passed since they last saw each other, and Y/N isn't a child anymore. When a tense, midnight encounter in a dark kitchen shatters their innocent past, Frank delivers a dangerous warning to stay away. But trapped together in the suffocating summer heat, the boundary between family friend and forbidden temptation begins to blur. TW : sex, abuse, violence, swearing, cheating, SA.

He was her father's best friend. He'd known her for years. He'd watched her grow up, teased her about every boyfriend she'd ever had, and always reminded her that she deserved better. Jon Bernthal was never supposed to become that person. The person she thought about when she couldn't sleep. The person she looked for in every room. The person she knew she shouldn't want. And Jon knew it too. He knew exactly who Iris was. Michael's daughter. His best friend's daughter. The one person he was never supposed to fall for. But feelings don't care about rules. What starts with stolen glances and conversations that last a little too long slowly becomes something neither of them can ignore. There are secrets to keep, lines they shouldn't cross, and a father who can never find out. Because some people are simply not for you. And Jon was never supposed to be hers. Until he was.
