Description

I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door...It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand.I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was.Hailey Wagner.It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off-limits.My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that.Too bad this single mom with soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong.When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe.I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost. We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night.Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it.But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences...
