She's just turned eighteen-restless, curious, and far too aware of the man who's always been in the background of her life.
He's her father's best friend-recently divorced, emotionally bruised, and old enough to know better.
At a summer backyard barbecue, one accidental touch changes everything.
A spark. A look. A moment neither of them can shake.
What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name.
Because some lines should never be crossed.
But some desires don't care.
A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

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 After spending five months on the road from city to city, blasting the sound of my vintage Mustang with my "outdated music", all I wanted was to return home and figure out what my next step would be.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.
