Kade, the youngest of the Dare brothers, has fallen prey to a forbidden desire. Wedged between a rock and a hard place, he doesn’t mind a bit of self-torture, so he keeps it to himself, suffering in silence until an opportune moment arises. Maeve, the owner of SeaWard Ink and Kade’s boss, knows she needs to leave her dead relationship, so when a night of peach whiskey turns into something unexpected, she can’t resist the temptation of a lifetime. She may be older than Kade, but together, these two come to an arrangement that serves them both. As their dirty deal turns into dirty deeds and a mission of self-discovery, can Maeve help Kade manage his forbidden desire? And can Kade lead Maeve on a journey to confidence and self-awakening? They can dare to try.
