He’s my boss’s father. Twice my age. Off-limits in every way. So why does every glance feel like fire… and every touch taste like honey? The Caldwell Farm was supposed to be a working vacation with my boss at her family's farm in Kentucky. It would be a couple of weeks in the Bluegrass, then back to city lights. But the moment I met Tom Caldwell, everything changed. Silver-fox handsome and strong as the Kentucky soil he works, Tom is the kind of man who commands a room without ever raising his voice. He’s also my boss’s father. Off-limits in every way that matters. Yet every stolen look burns hotter. Every quiet moment tempts me deeper. Out here among the bourbon sunsets and fields of hemp, it feels like I’m no longer Monica’s assistant. I’m just a woman who’s falling for a man who shouldn’t be mine. And the more he calls me honey, the harder it is to remember why I should say no. 💘 A steamy, swoony story with a young, curvy heroine and an older, rich country tycoon. No cliffhanger. No cheating. Just heat, heart, and one hell of a tale of love in the Bluegrass state.BOURBON & ROSES SERIESBourbon in the glass. Roses in the air.
