But when I end up living next door to the single dad who just happens to be one of my brother’s best friends, everything changes.Trace Colson sees too much, asks too many questions, and his protectiveness is as infuriating as it is alluring.And when danger comes calling, it’s Trace who stands between me and the darkness.But being close to him is its own kind of risk.
