She wanted to break her ex’s heart. She ended up stealing his father’s.
Louise thought her life was set: a three-year anniversary, a romantic dinner, and the diamond ring she’d been dreaming of. Instead, Kyle shattered her heart, trading their future for a secret fling with her coworker.
Blindsided and burning with a need to even the score, Louise realizes the most effective way to break Kyle is to seduce the one man he’s always looked up to: Clint.
He’s forty, rugged, and built from years of hard manual labor. He’s also Kyle’s father.
What starts as a cold-blooded plan for revenge ignites a fire neither of them saw coming. But when the heat of the moment leaves Louise with a positive pregnancy test, the game changes forever.
Suddenly, it’s not about revenge anymore. It’s about a man who is everything his son isn’t: steady, protective, and ready for a second chance at fatherhood. But as their forbidden bond deepens into something real, Kyle’s heartbreak turns into a dangerous, spiraling obsession.
From the wreckage of a betrayal comes a love that breaks all the rules. In the shadow of a son’s rage, a father will do whatever it takes to protect what is his.
