He’s my dad’s best friend. Twenty years older, watching me like he owns me. Good.
EVIE
I’m home for the summer, trapped by expectations and fake smiles. Then Nate moves in—my dad’s tattooed, battle-scarred, ex-military best friend.
His eyes linger. He keeps watching me when he shouldn’t. Nate is twenty years older and completely off-limits, but I can’t stop tempting him. Even if getting caught means betraying my parents’ trust and losing my only safety net.
NATE
