Nathaniel Bennett has spent the last eighteen years focused on one thing—raising his son, Julian. When financial aid falls through, threatening Julian’s college plans, Nate is left with no choice but to seek help from the last people he ever wanted to face: his wealthy, controlling parents. But just when he thinks life can’t throw him another curveball, an unexpected reunion at a small-town diner knocks him off balance.
Jack Calloway was the boy Nate wasn’t allowed to love—the boy ripped away from him after one stolen kiss. Now, he’s the owner of Jack’s Place, still impossibly cocky, still just as devastatingly handsome, and still able to unravel Nate with nothing more than a smirk. One moment of rekindled tension turns into another, and before Nate knows it, he’s got more than a second job—he’s got Jack under his skin, in his head, and tangled between his sheets.
