ARC

He’s grumpy, guarded, and completely off-limits. And I’m stuck living in his backyard. I came to Honeyfield for a fresh start—not to sneak around with the brooding single dad next door or fall for his adorably mischievous daughter. His incessant need to swoop in and fix everything made keeping my distance impossible. Especially when the only warm bed in town belonged to the man who swore he wasn’t interested. I told myself his heated glances didn’t mean anything—until I woke up to his weight pressing me into his sheets. Living in his guest house was practical. His daughter tricking us into a romantic boat ride was adorable. Breaking his unyielding self-restraint with a passionate kiss was the best mistake I ever made. I found belonging in a gruff man ten years older and a little girl who stole my heart. Caught in the middle, I’m left trying not to want what I was never meant to have.
