He’s my best friend’s dad. He’s twice my age. And the first man I ever wanted to touch me.
CALLIE
When I move in for the summer, I can’t stop picturing his hands on me. Graham Lawson is forty-two, grumpy, and forbidden—but when the lights go out during a storm, my best friend’s dad touches me like he can’t help himself.
I’ve never been kissed. Now I’m on my knees for a man who knows what he’s doing. And I never want him to stop.

If Lila finds out, I lose my daughter. But I can’t stay away from Callie.
