On their wedding night, Avery’s honeymoon gift shatters her new husband Sutton’s world, leaving her fleeing in tears, and him chasing her in shock. But when she collides with her father-in-law, the silver fox Geo Mercer, he proposes a solution that will unite the three of them in ways they never imagined. Sutton, the strait-laced heir to Mercer Properties, thought he knew his wife. But Avery’s desires seem to challenge everything he thought he knew about her and their relationship. Geo, the charismatic and extroverted CEO, has always regretted the distance between him and his son. Now, with Sutton and Avery's problem, he sees a chance to heal old wounds and save them before they crash. As the three of them navigate uncharted territory, the Mercers discover that love, trust, and intimacy can take many forms. But can their unconventional arrangement survive the scrutiny from their peers, the world around them and their own hearts?

I spent years convinced I’d never burn for anyone—Until Noah Ryan set me ablaze. Five years of sharing an office with the most confident professor on campus, and I kept my walls sky-high. No complications. Just lectures, grading, and quiet friendship. Then one kiss in a supply closet cracked me wide open. Now I can’t stop fantasizing about his mouth on me, his body teaching mine every filthy thing it’s been missing. I’ve never been with a man. I’ve barely been with anyone. But Noah’s loyal patience and sinful promises have me aching to learn it all—with him. He swears he’s okay with taking it slow, that he wants to show me exactly who I am and how perfect we can be. But when I discover who his ex is, old fears crash in hard. Am I just the inexperienced fling to pass his time until he finds someone more his caliber? Or will the only man who’s ever made me desperate to be touched finally prove I’m not enough—and walk away for good?
