He's twice her age, her best friend's dad, and the last man she should want. But out here on the ranch, rules don't stand a chance against desire.
After a painful breakup, Harper escapes to the Hawke family ranch to clear her head. She expected fresh air, familiar routines, and a little peace. What she didn't expect was Graham Hawke-gruff, brooding, and devastatingly handsome-to see her as anything more than his daughter's childhood friend.
But he does. And once Harper notices the way his gaze lingers a little too long... she can't stop wanting more.
He's tried to ignore the slow burn between them.
Tried to remember she's off-limits.
But when one stolen kiss shatters the fragile boundary between them, all bets are off.
Their connection is dangerous.
Their chemistry is explosive.
And if anyone finds out, it could destroy everything.

Heaven
He's my secret. My deepest temptation. My forbidden desire. And my father's best friend. After spending five months on the road from city to city, blasting the sound of my vintage Mustang with my "outdated music", all I wanted was to return home and figure out what my next step would be. I wasn't really interested in complicating my life any more than it already is. But then I met him. At a roadside bar, as unexpected as it seems, I walked up to him as a joke; a little game. It was like instant death: his deep green eyes, his dark chestnut hair and seductive smile. His kiss. And then he was gone, convincing me it all would become only a good memory at the back of my mind, and I would never see him again. It turns out I couldn't be more wrong. Suddenly, the man who had set my whole body on fire with just a kiss is not only living next door, but is, too, my dad's high school best friend and the father of my first crush from ninth grade. With this secret burning between us, every look is like the most pleasurable of sins; every touch is like a certain damnation. It can never happen. And it only makes me want it more.

I'm sick, and you're the only thing that stops the shaking." ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Leona: The forbidden target. As the guitarist's sister, she was supposed to be off-limits, but she became Draven's "Trouble" instead.

Draven: A lethal rock god with a predatory streak and a silent, unhinged obsession. He doesn't just protect; he claims. Feral, territorial, and grumpy personified, he is a man of raw rage who would gladly watch his empire burn to the ground if it meant keeping the world's hands off what is his. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was supposed to be a simple summer tour. No distractions. No scandals. And definitely no touching his best friend's sister. For Draven and Leona, the "ghost" era was the only way to survive.

But secrets this dark can't stay hidden in the light of the paparazzi's flash. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✨#1 in enemieswithbenefits #1 in tension #1 in rockstar #4 in oppositesattract #9 in brothersbestfriend #10 in wealthy #11 in secretaffair #22 in olderguy #81 in enemiestolovers #98 in seduction #94 in secretrelationship
