I never expected a fleeting memory from my childhood to stir such a storm within me. But Gavin's little sister Rissa is back, and she's grown into a woman who ignites a fire I thought long extinguished. She’s my best friend’s much younger sister—off-limits, forbidden. And I have sworn off love to carry the heavy weight of loss and the responsibilities of single fatherhood. Yet, Rissa’s presence challenges all my resolutions and fate seems determined to mock my resolve.
Behind her gentle smile and bright eyes lies a strength born of overcoming her own tragedies. Her laughter echoes through my thoughts, her touch branding my soul. We steal moments in the shadows to dance on the edge of something inevitable, something neither of us wants to admit. She’s my fated mate, a bond written in the stars that we both deny.
Rissa
Returning to Stock Creek was meant to be a fresh start, a chance to heal the wounds of my past. Little did I know that it would also awaken a deeply buried longing. Nathan has been my brother's best friend for as long as I can remember, but I was just a child when I saw him last. Now, he's a pillar of strength, a ruggedly handsome man with a heart burdened by unspeakable tragedy.
With the shadows of my past forever haunting me, I shouldn't want anyone. Especially not my older brother's best friend. But the more we resist the undeniable chemistry that crackles between us like wildfire, the stronger the pull of our fated bond becomes. His tender moments with his daughter and his protectiveness of me chip away at my resolve until we're hiding our forbidden affair. In a town where everyone knows everyone else's business, we tiptoe around the truth of our connection, pretending that our hearts aren't entwined by destiny. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and ours threatens to unravel everything we've built.
