Iris (Age Gap Romance)

IRIS:
I never expected to meet him that night. I just wanted to escape the noise, the party, my life. But by the lake, he found me. Ares Dorian. Thirty five, searching for his daughter, and finding me instead.

He called me Heaven. For the first time, I felt seen.

I shouldn't want him. I shouldn't feel this pull.
But then I learned the truth: he's my best friend's father.

And suddenly, everything I thought I knew about desire, love, and danger became impossible to ignore.

ARES:
I went to that party looking for my daughter, expecting chaos. What I didn't expect was to find her. Iris. Fragile, fierce, the kind of girl who makes the world feel lighter and heavier all at once.

I called her Heaven, because she would be someones heaven one day.

I know it's wrong. I know she's my daughter's friend. But every time I look at her, I feel something I shouldn't... something I can't ignore.

Some connections aren't meant to exist. But ours might be too strong to let go.
