It was supposed to be one night.
No last names. No promises. No reason to ever see each other again.
Jon was older, rough around the edges, and dangerously easy to want. By morning, you walked away knowing almost nothing about him, and expecting it to stay that way.
Then you met Jacob.
Charming, intense, and impossible to ignore, Jacob Callahan had a way of making everything feel like it belonged to him, including you. His temper should have been a warning. His jealousy probably should've been another.
Instead, you fell for him.
Months later, Jacob decides it's finally time for you to meet his family.
And standing on the other side of the door is the one man you never expected to see again.
Jon.
Your boyfriend's father.
One look is enough to know he remembers everything.
Neither of you tells Jacob. What happened was before him. It meant nothing. It's over.
At least, that's what you keep telling yourselves.
Because the longer you're around the Callahans, the more you begin to realise just how alike father and son really are.
The same temper.
The same intensity.
The same inability to let go.
And, apparently, the same taste in women.

Close Enough to Burn (English version)
Honora, known as Nora, is twenty-three years old when she leaves Seattle after a painful breakup with Isaac. Worn down by the pressure of college life and the relentless chaos of the city, she returns to her father's home in the small town of Riverfront, Oregon, planning to stay from September until Christmas. She hopes to find peace, distance, and enough quiet to piece herself back together. But Riverfront isn't nearly as frozen in time as she remembers. As the past refuses to let go, old family ties begin to take on new meaning, and unexpected faces reappear, Nora quickly realizes that nothing will be as simple as she'd imagined. Especially when Tommy (Jon Bernthal) enters the picture. Her father's best friend, her neighbor, and a police officer just like him, he's sarcastic, self-assured, infuriatingly composed, and far too present. Ever since her return, he hasn't stopped teasing her, as though he'd never forgotten who she was. And in a town where everyone knows everyone, some secrets are impossible to keep. Some lingering glances are even harder to hide.
