Legacy

2026

With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away. Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind. When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work. We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings. He might want me, but he wants peace more. There’s a darkness within him I know he fights. Just as there are secrets his family needs to uncover. But when the danger comes full force, it won’t be from the obvious corner. No, we both have our pasts we chose to hide. And our fears. Yet when I break, he catches me. And I hope I have the strength to do the same. \\Legacy is an age gap, best friend’s little sister, small town romance and the first in the Ashford Creek series featuring Callum and Felicity.
