Love in the Shadows - Novella 18+ ✔

Maddie has always had a secret crush on her father's best friend, Christan. With his rugged charm, smoldering eyes, and an easy confidence that sends her heart racing, he represents everything she craves yet knows she shouldn't. When Maddie's parents decide to leave for a romantic getaway to celebrate their anniversary, they enlist Christan to house sit, assuring them he will keep an eye on Maddie.

But the truth is, both Maddie and Christan feel the tension crackling between them the moment her parents close the front door, a potent mix of longing and restraint that makes every shared moment alone together impossibly tempting.

Will they succumb to the fire that burns between them, giving in to a night filled with reckless passion that could change everything? Or will the weight of their shared history hold them back from the very thing they crave most? The dance toward temptation has begun, and neither can resist the allure of crossing that forbidden line.

**This is a very short, very spicy novella with little to no plot- enjoy*
