One roof. One secret. One forbidden desire.
Moving in with her father was supposed to be temporary. Clover Bennett never expected it would mean sharing a roof with Jaxon Hayes-her dad's best friend, the man she's secretly wanted for years.
Jax promised long ago to protect Clover, not crave her. But at twenty-six, she isn't a kid anymore, and every stolen glance, every heated silence makes it harder to pretend she's off-limits.
Desire this forbidden can't stay hidden forever. And when loyalty collides with temptation, the only question left is how far they're willing to go-and what it will cost them.
