Overview

I came home to close a bittersweet chapter, but sparked a forbidden romance instead.

I returned to Pine Falls to sell my late parents' home and reconnect with my estranged daughter, Maggie. The tension between us and her father, the town sheriff, was palpable and thick with years of hurt.

Then I saw Nora Martinez, Maggie's best friend. Time hadn’t dulled our connection—our chemistry reignited instantly, a flame I thought had long since died.

Drawn together by fate, each encounter deepens our bond, making resisting impossible. Our secret moments are exhilarating, heightened by the forbidden nature of our love.

Every stolen glance, every shared touch feels like a precious gift, even though I’m twice her age.

But my heart trembles with the weight of this affair—sooner or later, Maggie will find out I’ve fallen for the one person I shouldn’t, and nothing will ever be the same again.
