He's her brother's best friend.
A cop. Too old. Too off-limits.
Rowan Hayes stopped caring the day her brother died.
At seventeen, she's reckless, wild, and halfway to self-destruction-drinking too much, feeling too little, doing everything she can to forget.
And Nate Delaney?
He's the one picking up the pieces.
Writing her up. Dragging her out. Dropping her off.
The cop who's supposed to follow the rules-
But breaks every single one when it comes to her.
He promised he'd take care of her.
But every time he sees her like this-
Drunk. High. With the wrong guy.
Something inside him cracks.
She's the girl who doesn't want to be saved.
He's the man who's breaking himself trying.
He touches when he shouldn't.
Stays when he should walk away.
And looks at her like she's already his.
The more he protects her, the harder it is to pretend he doesn't want her.
And the closer they get, the more impossible it becomes to walk away.
She's too young.
He's sworn to stay away.
But some lines don't just get crossed.
They get shattered.
A slow-burn, forbidden, age-gap new adult romance about grief, guilt, and the one person you should never want-but can't walk away from.
